Child molester stabbed to death in home invasion
A registered sex offender was stabbed to death in his Holly Township home early Sunday morning by an intruder, Michigan State Police said.Dennis McCarthy, 65, rushed to the back door of his home on Riviera Shores after his wife spotted someone breaking in around 4 a.m. and screamed for his help, according to investigators. McCarthy was stabbed as he was fighting with the intruder. McCarthy's wife, who wasn't harmed, performed first aid on him and called 911. He was rushed to Genesys Regional Medical Center in Grand Blanc, where he died, police said. An autopsy by the Oakland County medical examiner has ruled the death a homicide. "At this point, we do not believe this crime is a random act of violence," State Police Detective Sgt. Gary Muir said in a statement. Police would not comment on whether McCarthy was targeted because of his sex-offender status. The Michigan Public Sex Offender Registry lists a 64-year-old Dennis McCarthy who lives on the same road as being convicted in September of second-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person younger than 13. The killer is described as a white man in his 20s, 5-foot-8 with a stocky build and brown hair, wearing a dark blue hooded shirt. Elsewhere... Just one week after being released from jail, a convicted child molester was stabbed to death in his Holly Township home Sunday. Police believe McCarthy knew his attacker. McCarthy served one year in jail after admitting he sexually molested his own 4-year-old grandson. And Elsewhere Still Detectives say the suspect made a comment about McCarthy being a registered sex offender. State records show McCarthy pled guilty last September to 2nd degree criminal sexual conduct involving a child. Police say they haven't received many tips, so they are following up with family members and those involved in previous cases involving McCarthy. Posted by: gromky 2009-08-24 |
