YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - Four people accused of fatally injuring a 78-year-old Yakima real estate agent while he was showing a home alone now face murder charges.
The Yakima Herald-Republic reports (https://bit.ly/1jSQiLt) prosecutors upgraded attempted murder charges Thursday, following Sunday’s death of Vern Holbrook in hospice.
He was beaten and left with his throat slashed last May in a house at Cowiche (cow-ICH’-ee). The coroner ruled the death was a homicide caused by the attack.
