BEATING SUSPECT DIDN’T MEAN TO KILL

The trial of a Lake Isabella man accused of first-degree murder continued Wednesday. The trial had the suspect admitting in court that he beat his roommate but didn’t intend to kill him. 32-year-old Raymond Tenorio is accused of pummeling 48-year-old Kirk Haag to death one year ago after learning that the victim may have sexually molested his daughter. Tenorio testified Wednesday that he was enraged at what Haag had done. The victim died 5 days after the beating.
