Trial in alleged gang killing starts today
A trial is set to begin today for three alleged gang members who are accused of beating to death a member of a rival gang last year on a street in the Elmwood section of Providence.
Sarith Chith, 20, Thomas Havey, 20 and Tavarez Moralez, 18, face murder and conspiracy charges for the January 2007 death of Vicheth Klakratok, 23.
The police say the three are members of the Hanover Boyz street gang. Klakratok was said to be a member of a rival gang. Prosecutors say he died of blunt force trauma after being hit in the head with pipes in the middle of Cranston Street, in West End.
The three pleaded innocent in July.

Pleaded innocent, huh? Yeah, right. And I'm sure these moron's mamas will be quoted as saying "But he's such a good boy." Society does not need scum like this roaming the streets. Lock them up for life (although I do support the death penalty for just these kinds of animals, too bad this state doesn't. How sad society forgets the suffering of the victim in it's zeal to protect the murderer.)
