A 36-year-old Carpentersville man was denied bond Thursday in the beating death of a longtime nurse in Chicago's Bridgeport neighborhood.
Raymond Harris is accused of killing 73-year-old Virginia Perillo last month in her garage. He was arrested Tuesday in Elgin, police said, and charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery.
On Oct. 22, a neighbor driving by Perillo's house at 33rd and Parnell found her garage open and her body on the ground unresponsive. Police say Perillo was brutally beaten -- her face smashed.
Prosecutors say DNA evidence found in Perillo's car matched Harris' DNA.
Harris left behind his watch after a struggle with Perillo. Harris then stole her wedding and engagement rings, prosecutors said, and took them to a party later that night and used them to propose to his girlfriend.
Judge Peggy Chiampas called this "disturbing."

"Disturbing" doesn't tell the half of it.

It's that famous "British understatement"..."Disturbing" doesn't tell the half of it.

I'm guessing the girlfriend would have preferred cubic zirconia.

For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.
