Laborer Charged With Five Murders

A 20-year-old laborer was charged with five counts of murder Friday after a podiatrist, his three daughters and a house painter were found dead in the physician’s home.

The laborer, Bruman Alvarez, had first reported the killings in a 911 call to police an hour before midnight Thursday.

Police found the bodies of Dr. David Marc Goff, 46, and Mark Aldridge, 30, the house painter, on the first floor. Upstairs they found the bodies of Goff’s three daughters: Andrea, 22; Sheri, 19, and Alyse, 14.

Investigators said the victims appeared to have been stabbed and beaten.
