Murdered man dressed as a woman
A man beaten to death this past weekend in a neighborhood just east of Presbyterian Hospital was dressed as a woman.
The Albuquerque Journal reports that 42-year-old Teri Benally, who was assaulted early Saturday morning near Coal and Maple, was the second case of a cross-dresser beaten to death in the past month.
On June 9, Frederick Watson’s body was found three blocks from where Benally was discovered.
APD spokeswoman Nadine Hamby told the Journal that police have not been able to connect the two incidents but aren’t ruling a connection out.
