FULLERTON : Two Are Held in 1993 Death of Ex-Boss
Two men have been arrested in connection with the death of a 62-year-old businessman whose body was found near Imperial Golf Course in Fullerton last year, police said Thursday.
George Kosta Perikli was found shot to death on May 1, 1993, in the 3200 block of Rolling Hills Drive, just south of the golf course. He had been shot in the head and torso, and his body was rolled up in a piece of carpet, police said.
Perikli, a Hollywood resident, operated Linoleum Discount City in Long Beach, where police found blood and other evidence of the shooting after his body was discovered.
Police arrested two of Perikli’s former employees earlier this week in connection with the slaying.
Charles Andrew Roland, 25, was arrested on suspicion of murder Tuesday in a rural area near Clarksville, Ark., police said. Jessie Mendoza Lepe, 20, was arrested at his Hesperia home Tuesday on suspicion of being an accessory to murder, police said.
