Sorry bout that,
1, But some Jose Felicano, has stabbed to death a Priest, not the singer.
2. This is very bad.
3. I can not imagine what would be worth killing a Priest.
4. Very sad.
5. May the Priest arrive in Heaven, immediately.

"Suspect Jose Feliciano has worked at the church for 17 years, police say
Blood spatters indicate fight, New Jersey authorities say
Catholic pastor had wounds front and back, police say
Body found Friday in clerical robe in church rectory's kitchen
Chatham Borough, New Jersey (CNN) -- The janitor at St. Patrick's Church has been charged with murder in the slaying of the church's pastor, the chief prosecutor said Saturday.
Morris County Prosecutor Robert Bianchi said Jose Feliciano stabbed the Rev. Ed Hinds 32 times with a knife after the two got into an argument on Thursday. The Roman Catholic priest's body was found in the church's rectory Friday morning.
Feliciano, 64, has been employed with the church for 17 years, Bianchi said.
Feliciano also faces two weapons charges, Bianchi said at a news conference.
It was not immediately known if the janitor had retained legal counsel.
When the janitor was interviewed Saturday, after waiving his Miranda rights, he "confessed to the murder of Father Hinds," an arrest affidavit said.
Hinds, 61, had stab wounds to his upper torso and the back of his head, Bianchi said. The priest also had defensive wounds on his hands and contusions and bruises to his face, he said.
The priest's body was discovered Friday morning in the rectory kitchen by Feliciano and others, according to the affidavit.
It said an autopsy had concluded that Hinds died of "multiple sharp force injuries."
The affidavit said authorities discovered that Hinds' cell phone had been used in Easton, Pennsylvania, about 40 miles west of Chatham. Further investigation led them to a garbage can in a park there, where a T-shirt and rags "saturated with what appeared to be blood" were found, the affidavit said.
The garbage can was about 50 yards from Feliciano's home, it said.
Feliciano told police that he entered the rectory around 5 p.m. Thursday, where he and the priest argued, the affidavit said. After, Feliciano said he left the rectory to get a knife and returned to kill Hinds, the affidavit said.
He said he cleaned up blood from the killing with rags and paper towels and put them in a black bag, which he put in the trash can, the affidavit said.
Feliciano also said he threw away the knife after returning home and destroyed Hinds' cell phone.
Although Bianchi said authorities are familiar with the nature of the argument between Hinds and Feliciano, he did not divulge it.
Hinds also oversaw the church's Catholic grade school.
"When you're the sole pastor and you do most of the baptisms and weddings and funerals, people end up loving you. This will be a big loss for the parish and a big loss for the diocese," said the Rev. Paul Manning from the Archdiocese of Paterson, New Jersey."
