BOSTON. As one murder suspect was formally charged yesterday, another deep into his trial chose to plead guilty to a lesser charge of voluntary manslaughter, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney’s office.
Richard Southern, 18, pleaded not guilty in Chelsea District Court to murdering a man more than three times his age in Revere last week, a crime authorities allege came a night after the defendant robbed a convenience store at knifepoint.
Southern was held without bail on the murder charge. Prosecutors said an anonymous call led officers to the Bryant Avenue residence of 61-year-old Storm Mandeville. There, they found a lifeless Mandeville, stabbed multiple times in the neck and chest.
Authorities believe Southern killed Mandeville following a fight in the home Thursday, and that Southern robbed a store of $100 the night before.
While Southern awaits a trial, Chanly Kan begins an 18-year sentence for a July 2006 murder in South Boston.
Kan, 23, on trial in Suffolk Superior Court for the shooting death of 23-year-old Alberto Duarte, admitted to using a gun to finish a series of clashes between rival groups one night at the Old Colony housing complex.
“Thank God [Kan] has made this decision,” said Duarte’s mother, Tanya Duarte, in a statement in court. “May God have mercy on his soul.”
