Burien stabbings
A bar fight at closing time Nov. 12 led to the death of one man. A second victim was taken to Harborview with stabs wounds. However he is expected to survive.
The incident occurred about 1:40 a.m. at Good Time Ernie's, 15747 Ambaum Blvd in Burien. A fight inside the bar involving several people spilled out into the parking lot where the stabbings occurred.
A Burien man, age 25, died at the scene, despite CPR efforts from Sheriff's deputies (Burien Police) and then from fire personnel. A second stabbing victim, age 24 and also from Burien, was taken to Harborview. The two victims are brothers.
Sheriff's detectives interviewed bar patrons and witnesses, but no one was arrested. What prompted the fight is unknown. Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at (206) 296-3311 (24 hours) or 9-1-1.
Man found
A "missing" SeaTac man has been found alive and well, living in another state. The man, Nicholas Francisco, was last seen leaving his work on February 13, 2008. He was supposedly heading home to bake cookies with his children.
Francisco's car was found a few days later abandoned in Federal Way. The Sheriff's Office did an extensive investigation to learn if he had been a victim of foul play. Nothing turned up. Last week detectives developed information that he was in fact alive. He had changed his name and was living outside of Washington.
Couple pleads not guilty
A man and his ex-wife accused of broadcasting live online the rape of a 4-year-old girl pleaded not guilty to all charges in court Monday, Nov. 9. Brian K. Beston, 36, of Kent, and Hollie Beston, 31, of Burien, have each been charged with first-degree child rape, first-degree child molestation, exploitation of a minor and dealing in depictions of a minor engaged in sexually-explicit conduct. According to court documents, the two abused the girl between June 2009 and Oct. 23, 2009, and sent child pornography to another accused child molester in San Diego whom they met online. Brian Beston admitted to having abused the 4-year-old girl, as well as to having taken images and video of her and sending them over the Internet, the court documents said. Beston told detectives he began abusing the girl in June 2009, and continued to do so once or twice a week until the beginning of October. Hollie Beston told investigators she had knowledge of the alleged abuse, in which she took "an active role," investigators said.
