Triple murder suspect ordered held without bail
The man who allegedly killed three Brooklyn store owners in cold blood in a shocking crime spree that had merchants on edge for five months is being held in jail without bail as prosecutors begin building their criminal case around him.
Salvatore Perrone, 64, was charged on Nov. 21 with three counts of murder. There are conflicting reports as to whether Perrone had walked into a police precinct voluntarily earlier that day to answer questions from police or if he was picked up for questioning by cops while he was visiting a Bay Ridge pharmacy.
Police had been looking for a man they described as “person of interest,” whose image had been captured on video surveillance cameras at the crime scenes carrying a duffle bag. Police had dubbed the man “John Doe Duffle Bag.”
