Ramon Navarro
Navarro was also a piece of work....
The Ferguson brothers called him and offered their sexual services. He had in the past hired prostitutes from an agency to come to his Laurel Canyon home for sex, and the Fergusons obtained Novarro's telephone number from a previous guest.
They demanded the $5,000 rumored to be hidden in the house. Novarro’s pleading denials aroused jostling, shaking, rough shoving that escalated into violent pummeling. Bleeding, the frail naked man fell. The brothers yanked him up to strike him down again. One of the brothers danced, twirling a cane like a baton and wearing a glove he had found in a closet.
(sounds like A Clockwork Orange, no?)
To prevent Novarro from slipping into unconsciousness, they dragged him to the bathroom, slapping him alert with cold water. Novarro staggered back into the bedroom. “Hail Mary, full of grace,” he sobbed, collapsing on his knees. Taking turns, the two aimed the cane at his genitals, his head. They bound him with an electric cord and struck again and again. The younger brother scratched the dying man’s face. They tossed the mangled body onto the bed. Novarro died, choking on his own blood.
