Read our privacy policy A man was murdered by MS-13 gang members who stabbed him more than 100 times, removed his head, and ripped out his heart, Maryland police say. Mr Lopez-Abrego was “the first individual to thrust a knife into the chest” of the victim, Assistant State’s Attorney Kelly McGann said in court. Kevin Frye, Avery County Sheriff, said the three alleged gang members were “new arrivals” and “no one really knew who they were”. Jeff Sessions, the US Attorney General, last month declared that the US Justice Department’s organised task force will destroy MS-13 “just like we took Al Capone off the streets”.
