Three migrants indicted for brutal murder on Long Island

Three migrant men have been charged with the murder of a 39-year-old immigrant on Long Island. The alleged crime took place on February 18, when Brayan Heredia Escobar, Jhon Lopez Campos, and Julio Beltran attacked Candido Guadalupe Saravia Martinez. Local authorities discovered Saravia Martinez's body in a tent. He had a rope around his neck, signs of blunt force trauma on his face, and a stab wound that severed his carotid artery. A machete and a bloody knife were found at the scene. Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney condemned the violence, calling the murder "brutal" and stating that such actions will not be tolerated. All three suspects are homeless, and the prosecution has gathered video evidence showing them leaving the tent after the alleged murder. The DA's office has not commented on their immigration status or any previous convictions. The men face second-degree murder charges, which could result in sentences of 25 years to life if convicted. Heredia Escobar's next court date is March 27. Beltran will appear again on April 10, and Lopez Campos is scheduled for April 23.
