New Jersey priest murdered

One day after police held a public safety seminar at St. Parick's Church in Chatham, New Jersey, a priest was found slain in the Church's rectory. The body of the Rev. Ed Hinds was found and had wounds consistent with a homicide. The day preceding the discovery, police sponsored an event in which they photographed and fingerprinted children for their protection. 

The priest, in his clerical robes, was stabbed 32 times in the rectory kitchen where he had been brewing a cup of coffee. Father Hinds' body was discovered after he failed to appear for the morning mass. A janitor has been arrested and charged with the murder.
