Families Want Vengeance for Boarding House Slayings

Arraignment of Ka Pasasouk delayed until Thursday.

On the four-month anniversary of the slaying of four persons outside a Northridge boarding house, Ka Pasasouk was supposed to be arraigned. He wasn't.

But friends and families of the victims were there at the San Fernando Courthouse calling for blood.

Heide Valente-Navales, whose husband Teofilo "JoJo" Navales of Castaic was 49 when he was killed, said Pasasouk deserves execution. "That's what we all want," Valente-Navales told Eric Hartley of the Daily News.
