Suspected Killer of Ex-Girlfriend Caught in Church

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A man suspected of killing two people, including the mother of his four children, was apprehended after he was spotted in church during services, police said. Lyndell Swinson, 28, was attending Sunday services at the Mount Airy Church of God in Christ, where the minister is also a police lieutenant. When a member of the congregation alerted the Rev. Norman Davenport, the clergyman "switched roles back to the lieutenant role" and notified other officers, police Capt. Richard Ross of the homicide unit said.
