Good Samaritan beheaded in south Florida*

Authorities in south Florida say a homeless man beheaded a good
Samaritan who had given him a place to stay.
Lee County sheriff's deputies went to 70-year-old Charles Rogers'
apartment on Thursday and found his body still in his wheelchair. His
head had been placed near the front door.
Police say a home health care provider identified 55-year-old Robert
Cope as the man who had been staying with Rogers. Neighbours say Rogers
was a good Samaritan-type who often helped people.
Authorities say they found Cope's shoe prints at the scene and he had
blood on his shoes when they arrested him.
Cope is charged with second-degree murder and is being held without
bond. The jail where he was being held did not know if he has a lawyer.
