Portuguese Model Accused of Killing Journalist Pleads Not Guilty
This Tuesday, Portuguese model Renato Seabra pleaded not guilty for the murder of 65-year-old Carlos Castro. Castro, who was a prominent journalist in Portugal, was found dead last month in his room at the Intercontinental Hotel in Times Square. He had been beaten and castrated, though the medical examiner?s office revealed that the ultimate cause of death was head trauma and strangulation. Castro?s face was bruised and had shoe impressions. Despite his plea, 21-year-old Seabra has admitted to stabbing and castrating Castro with a corkscrew, noting that the whole attack took at least an hour. Seabra?s attorney, David Touger, said he plans a ?vigorous defense? for Seabra. Supreme Court Judge Charles Solomon ordered that Seabra be detained without bail.Related Media Coverage:Reuters - February 1, 2011"Portuguese Model Pleads Innocent in Journalist Murder"http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/01/us-crime-murder-portugal-newyork-idUKTRE7107YB20110201
