COPS: MAN KILLED SUPERVISOR SO SHE COULDN'T REPORT HIS THEFT

BY SEAN CARLIN

PHILADELPHIA (AP) -- An assistant director at a child advocacy organization followed and shot his supervisor as she waited at a bus stop so she couldn't report him for stealing about $40,000 from the organization, police said Monday.

After the slaying last month, Randolph Sanders told a television station that he was "stunned" by the death of 56-year-old Kim Jones, a mother of two.

"She was incredibly happy," Sanders said in the interview with WPVI-TV in Philadelphia. "So this is - this is just disturbing."

But over the weekend, authorities say, he confessed to shooting Jones once in the back of the head in what homicide Capt. James Clark described as "a premeditated assassination-style" killing.

I'm sure the confession will be denied by his lawyer.

Tragic and deeply disturbing.

This "hit" was just cold and calculating and had caused much consternation here in the city.
