Thread: Illegal Alien Accused of Murdering Muslim Teen (update)

Terrible. A scum bag.

The Washington Post refused to mention the illegal alien status of the man accused of beating to death a Muslim teenager in Fairfax County, Virginia.

In a piece on the funeral of 17-year-old Nabra Hassanen, the Washington Post mentions the accused killer, Darwin Martinez Torres, but excluded any references to the fact that the man is a foreign national living in the U.S. illegally:

Authorities arrested Darwin Martinez Torres, 22, of Sterling, after a Fairfax County officer noticed him circling the site Sunday.

Police said Martinez Torres, a construction worker, beat Nabra with a baseball bat and left her body in a pond near his apartment building. Her remains were found Sunday afternoon.

Breitbart Texas reported days ago of Torres’ status as an illegal alien. The accused killer now has a detainer on him by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), where if he is released from prison for any reason, he will be deported to Guatemala.

The Post stressed how Hassanen’s death could still be an anti-Muslim hate crime, despite previous enforcement policies that wait for Torres and others to commit crimes before risking deportation:

The brutal assault has alarmed the surrounding Muslim community and reverberated nationally with calls for a hate-crime investigation. A vigil in Dupont Circle in the District on Tuesday night drew hundreds, and hundreds more — many of them young — attended a vigil in Reston on Wednesday night.

Fairfax County Commonwealth’s Attorney Raymond F. Morrogh has not ruled out pursuing hate-crime charges if fresh evidence points in that direction.

“We heard about this type of hatred. We never thought it was going to happen in our neighborhood,” said Rhab Saad, who lives in the same apartment complex as the Hassanens. “Muslim kids and Christian kids in this neighborhood grow up together. We’re all family.”

Hassanen’s death drew national headlines from the Post and The New York Times, but following the revelation that the accused killer is an illegal alien, the story quickly went to metro sections.

Hassanen and a group of fellow Muslim teenagers were eating at a nearby McDonald’s when they left and started walking back to the All Dulles Area Muslim Society (ADAMS) Center when Torres, according to police, started following them.

Soon after the teens noticed Torres, the illegal alien allegedly jumped a curb with his car and got out of his vehicle and started chasing the teens while wielding a baseball bat. Torres was able to grab Hassanen and began beating her to death with the bat, police said.

The illegal alien allegedly took her body to a nearby pond and dumped her there for the authorities to later find.

Prosecutors want to put on evidence that Nabra Hassanen’s alleged killer was suspected MS-13 member

By Justin Jouvenal
August 23
Prosecutors plan to introduce evidence during a capital murder trial that the man accused of the high-profile killing of a Muslim teen in Virginia last year had been suspected of being a member of the violent MS-13 street gang, according to recent court filings.

Darwin Martinez Torres’s brother-in-law “believed” the 23-year-old was an MS-13 associate as a juvenile in the years before authorities said he abducted, sexually assaulted and brutally killed 17-year-old Nabra Hassanen, according to the filings.

Prosecutors are not alleging the slaying is related to Torres’s alleged affiliation with the gang. But they hope to present the testimony as evidence of Torres’s potentially dangerous conduct if he is convicted at his January trial in Fairfax County and the jury weighs whether to sentence him to death.

News of a possible MS-13 angle in a case that grabbed national attention could have reverberations beyond the trial, since President Trump and his allies have highlighted violence committed by gang members and undocumented immigrants to advocate for hard-line immigration policies.

In recent days, Trump and some Republicans have seized on the case of Mollie Tibbetts, an Iowa college student who authorities said was killed by an undocumented immigrant from Mexico. The man’s attorney claims he was in the United States legally, but has offered no evidence to back up the assertion.

At a rally in West Virginia on Tuesday, Trump told a crowd that MS-13 was “on the run” and the killing of Tibbetts “should have never happened.”

“The immigration laws are a such a disgrace,” Trump said.

Immigration authorities have also said Torres, who is originally from El Salvador, entered the country illegally.

Hassanen, of Reston, Va., was attacked as she and friends walked back to their Sterling mosque, following a pre-dawn meal during Ramadan in June 2017. Police said Torres approached the group in his car and got into an altercation with one of them, before getting out and chasing them with a baseball bat.

Torres eventually caught Hassanen and hit her with the bat, police said. He then abducted her, sexually assaulted her, killed her and dumped her body in a pond near his Sterling apartment, police said. Torres was arrested a short time later and has been charged with murder, rape and other counts.

Hassanen’s family feared she was targeted because of her faith, but police have called it a “road rage incident” and said they have found no evidence of a hate crime. The slaying drew national coverage and sparked vigils from coast to coast.

Joseph T. Flood, an attorney for Torres, declined to comment on the allegation that his client may have been a member of MS-13, but in court filings the defense team has sought to have the testimony barred from the trial.

Virginia law allows prosecutors to present evidence of “unadjudicated criminal conduct” during the sentencing phase of a death penalty trial to try to establish if a defendant remains a continuing threat to commit violence. The defense argues that being a gang member is not a crime in and of itself, so the testimony is not admissible.

“Its value is substantially outweighed by the unfair prejudice that will result,” defense attorneys wrote in a filing objecting to the inclusion of the proposed gang reference.

Prosecutors wrote in a filing that is under seal that Torres’s brother-in-law said the defendant had been associated with the gang through May 2011, according to an excerpt quoted in the defense filing.

The court documents publicly available do not detail Torres’s alleged status with the gang after that, or say whether he left MS-13. Prosecutors also did not detail any alleged activity with the gang, according to the defense filing.

It is not the first time Torres has been accused of an association with the region’s largest and most violent gang, which has experienced a resurgence up and down the East Coast in recent years.

The week before Hassanen was killed, a woman went to an emergency room at a Loudoun County hospital and reported that Torres had punched, choked and sexually assaulted her and was a member of MS-13, according to two people familiar with her account.

Authorities were informed, but the woman declined to pursue charges.

Following a report on the incident in The Washington Post, Fairfax County police investigated and said they found no “credible information” that Torres had gang ties.

Fairfax County police declined to comment on the apparent discrepancy between their findings and the evidence prosecutors plan to introduce, since the case is still pending. Fairfax County prosecutors also declined to comment on the evidence.

The recent defense filings also indicate prosecutors plan to introduce 15 other instances of alleged bad acts by Torres. The defense objects to the introduction of claims that Torres bullied kids while in high school, stole money from his brother-in-law and vandalized a truck, among other incidents.

Little is publicly known about Torres, but the details add to a picture of turbulent years as a juvenile. Previous defense filings had said Torres was homeless for a time before he turned 18, lived at a youth shelter and faced unspecified charges in Loudoun County that were eventually dropped.

Defense attorneys are preparing to make Torres’s mental capacity an issue in the trial. A neuropsychologist who examined Torres wrote that he is “likely intellectually disabled” and should be evaluated to determine whether he is too impaired to face the death penalty, according to a filing. A judge recently appointed experts to carry out the evaluations.

A hearing on the defense’s motion to keep prosecutors from introducing the gang reference and other alleged prior incidents at trial will occur on Aug. 31 in Fairfax County Circuit Court.

Again, "Cops suspect" makes it fact?

Logically, what would be the motivation for this illegal alien to murder Mollie Tibbets? Generally we first suspect sexual attraction because it was a male on female attack. But sometimes it is revenge, and unrelated to sex. Sometimes it is robbery and unrelated to sex.

At this point I am unaware of autopsy result stating that she was raped. Yet here we have "Twitter" a definite authority, as well as "Cops suspect" as verification of what is only rumor, but will be treated as fact.

This thread isn't even about Mollie Tibbet's and the comments weren't made about Mollie Tibbett's, it is about Nabra Hassanen.

I admit the stories seems to overlap.

That story in no way sounds like rape. Yet this thread has morphed to that opinion by some with two posts alluding to that.

When I think of rape, I think of unwanted sexual intercourse. From the story:

The new indictment accuses 22-year-old Darwin Martinez Torrez of both raping and sexually assaulting Nabra with some kind of object. The Commonwealth Attorney couldn't say what that object was, but we can report, it happened at least twice.

Now legally, that may fit under the statute definition of rape, but much like the original story, it was a hateful assault. Because it involved her sexual organs, it suddenly becomes rape.

Police say Martinez Torres chased down the teens with a baseball bat and struck Nabra. He then abducted her.

This doesn't appear to be a sexual attack.

Fairfax County police ruled-out the 'hate crime' possibility early-on and instead, called it a 'road rage' incident.

It certainly wasn't love! What does it take to qualify as "hate"? Road rage usually results in death, not sexual mutilation.
