Probation Workers Fired After 6 Slayings
The state fired a probation officer and three supervisors for allegedly failing to keep custody of a former convict who was the lead suspect in the vicious beating and stabbing deaths of six people.
Corrections Secretary James Crosby said in Tallahassee that the employees missed key opportunities to put Troy Victorino in jail, including a visit to his probation office within a day of Thursday’s slayings.
Victorino, 27, and three defendants have been charged with first-degree murder and armed burglary.
They are being held without bond.
