Boston Blotter: Murders in Needham, Revere

--Needham went into lockdown yesterday when 78-year-old Robert J. Moore was murdered in his home, prompting a manhunt and a standoff with a suspicious man at Stone Hearth Pizza.

However, the guy at the pizza shop wasn't the killer. He was just acting nervous. During the standoff, a State Police K-9 unit was busy arresting William Dunn, 41, of Norwood, who had fled to a marsh. The Globe writes that Norwood Dunn was at the murdered man's home to install a sprinkler system when something went wrong. Moore's daughter-in-law was also beaten and is now in the hospital. The incident marks Needham's first homicide in 18 years.

One person told the Herald: "This happens in Boston. This isn’t supposed to happen in Needham." Yeah, well, it shouldn't be happening in Boston, either. Just because it doesn't happen to you too much doesn't mean it's okay as long as it happens in Boston.

--The man who was found stabbed to death in a Revere apartment yesterday morning has been identified as Jose Hernandez. Hernandez, an immigrant from El Salvador, was crashing there after work when he was stabbed during a party. Jose Moz, 27, of East Boston, has been arrested.

--Mimin Manavoglu, the owner of Stalex Pizza who was shot in the head by an 18-year-old robber, died last night. Gary Johnson, of Dorchester, held up the shop and got $60 bucks when Manavoglu ran after him, at which time Johnson shot him.

--Nine mysterious fires have broken out in Provincetown, and residents are worried an arsonist has been setting them. That's bad enough, but Jenna Russell at the Globe writes that the town is especially worried because of all the "old, wooden structures built close together."

All charges alleged until proven under law.
