16-year-old confesses to Weber murder

By on March 25, 2009 in Arts and Entertainment, Carroll Gardens, Celebrity Residents, News

A 16-year-old male confessed early this morning to the murder of newsman George Weber. The teen, John Katehis, met up with Weber at his Henry Street apartment on the night of the murder after they reportedly met and exchanged emails through Craigslist. Coverage of the arrest and details of the crime can be found in the Daily News and the Post, which offer slightly different stories, as the news of the arrest and facts trickle in.

UPDATE: Gawker reveals Katehis’ Myspace page, featuring “Satanic” images, along with photos of the teen holding knives and blades.
