By JONATHAN DREW

NEW BERN, N.C. (AP) — Police say a Burmese immigrant has been charged with murder in the stabbing deaths of three young brothers, ages 1, 5 and 12.

Police in the coastal city of New Bern said Wednesday that 18-year-old Eh Lar Doh Htoo was charged with three counts of murder in the knife attack on a Burmese family that lived in his neighborhood.

Htoo also wounded the brothers' mother and their 14-year-old sister. Police said they don't know a motive for the attack or whether Htoo has an attorney.

His first court appearance was scheduled for Friday.

Just for academic purposes, I have let the posts remain. It's called trolling and it's best not to respond to such posts.

A sad event for the entire Karen refugee community in the US, as well as for those of us who work or volunteer within that community.

The suspect and the victims appear to all have been Burmese refugees. Authorities were looking for a translator for the Karen Language which would explain refugee status.

Did he have an attorney? Of course he did. No judge would let him appear in court without one. If he couldn't afford one, he would have been appointed one at government expense.

Here's More from a local source.

"Neighbors of suspect say they feared him."

"Neighbors of New Bern triple murder suspect Eh Lar Doh Htoo, say he was known in the community for being what they describe as "crazy and unpredictable."

Htoo is charged with killing three kids and wounding a fourth, and the children's mother.

A. Ley says the mother and daughter ran to his house for help. Ley says, "She said somebody killed my kid, and she said oh, and then I see the blood."
