Police believe that Imette St. Guillen, the John Jay College graduate student who was murdered last Saturday, was probably targeted by a stranger. After confirming that St. Guillen was last at The Falls, a restaurant and bar on Lafayette Street just south of Spring (near the Andre Balazs Kenmare Square development, across the street from La Esquina) where she headed after the Pioneer Bar, witnesses say she left the restaurant alone. The current theory: A fake livery driver picked up St. Guillen around 4AM - especially considering how easy it seems to be to pose as a livery driver (just a few weeks ago a woman was assaulted by someone she thought was a livery driver). People in SoHo were surprised, with one resident told WABC: "It's surprising that this is something that happened in this part. Down Bowery and down Canal it gets sketchy." Well, unfortunately anything goes - just because a neighborhood is gentrified doesn't mean there isn't crime. Criminologists and experts have been weighing on all media outfits on the grisliness of the murder - and what it means about the killer - here's one look.

The Post says the police have dusted the payphone at a diner on Linden Boulevard for prints - they think this is where the 911 call may have been made. The Daily News has gruesome details about how she was found, with the murderer "brutally raping her, chopping her dark hair and stuffing a tube sock down her throat. Then he wrapped her face in tape and dumped her nude, bound body off a Brooklyn road."

The trial of Kayson Pearson and Troy Hendrix, accused of torturing a woman over days and then murdering her, got crazy yesterday when Pearson stabbed his attorney as Hendrix tried to grab a gun from a court officer. Pearson used a shiv to stab Mitchell Dinnerstein in the chin when he was being taken out of the court, and the Daily News says that was the diversion for Hendrix to jump across the table and go for Sgt. James Gorra's gun. The murder victim's mother, Elle Carmichael, had testified earlier and reportedly said, "No! No! No! They're animals. They should have been killed! Why didn't the police shoot them?" Her daughter, Ramona Moore, was a student at Hunter and had been missing for weeks; Moore's body was found, disfigured from being "bashed and mangled by a hammer, saw, barbell and knife."

Some murder cases that became high profile stories because of their utter inhumanity and depravity of the crimes are now in the courts. A Brooklyn court is hearing about murder of Ramona Moore, a Hunter college student who was raped and attacked with a knife, saw and barbell while chained in a basement by two men in 2003. Kayson Pearson and Troy Hendrix are charged with Moore's murder, and burn marks found on her disfigured face indicated they were in the Bloods. The prosecution's witness is someone who Pearon and Hendrix bragged to about "having a girl" - they showed him the tortured figure of Moore. The Daily News writes, "[Witness Raymondo] Jack never called the police, and Moore's body was found weeks later after an anonymous caller tipped the family - responding to desperate posters seeking info on their missing loved one."
