Share
From Times Staff and Wire Reports

A University of Florida freshman suspected in the serial killings of five college students was charged in two campus assaults that occurred a day before the first bodies were discovered. University police in Gainesville, Fla., obtained arrest warrants after a judge refused to reduce a $1-million bond set for Edward Humphrey, 18, saying the suspect may be psychotic and a danger to the community. Details of the assaults were sealed under a court order. Humphrey was being held on a charge of aggravated battery in the beating of his grandmother.
