the murder of just one good man diminishes all~
#1
“As a man, he was the best that could have walked the Earth,” said Ramona Lugo, 47, whose brother, Richel Nova, 58, was brutally stabbed Thursday. “As a man, as a brother, as a father, as a friend ... he was a saint.”

this immigrant from the Dominican Republic has been here working 3 jobs for 26 years. these scumsucking filthy fuckers ordered a pizza with the intent to rob and murder whoever delivered it, someone's college kid or someone's father, it didn't matter. they butchered him for a little over $100. there was blood all over the residence. it was a savage scene according to police.
i want to see the death penalty in Mass. i am sick of the birkenstock-wearing prius-driving moonbats and bleeding hearts that inhabit this state and always have. these fuckers need to die for what they did, and i don't care if they are young and weren't properly toilet trained.

police arrest three suspects in stabbing death of Hyde Park pizza delivery man
September 4, 2010 03:33 PM
BOSTON GLOBE

Boston police have charged two teenagers and a 20-year-old with the murder of a 58-year-old pizza delivery man who was stabbed to death while making a delivery in Hyde Park Wednesday night.

Michel Andre St. Jean, 20, of Hyde Park; Alexander Emmanuel Gallett, 18, of Hyde Park; and Yamiley Mathurin, 17, of Mattapan each face charges of murder, armed robbery, and armed breaking and entering of a dwelling, police and prosecutors said at a news conference today.

The slaying of Richel Nova of Hyde Park was "chilling in its callousness and violence," Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley said in a statement. Boston Police Commissioner Edward F. Davis said the suspects were "vicious thugs" who had shown Nova no mercy.

Nova was lured to a vacant house at 742 Hyde Park Ave. late Wednesday, where the suspects allegedly robbed and fatally stabbed him, Boston police have said.

Authorities have said the suspects had placed an order with Domino's and gave the address of the house. After Nova was stabbed, the three allegedly drove off in his Subaru Legacy, which was recovered Thursday at church parking lot on River Street.

Nova was an immigrant from the Dominican Republic who lived alone and worked several jobs. He lived about 3 miles from the house where he was killed.

"Richel Nova was a hard-working man making an honest living to provide for his family when he was preyed upon by three vicious thugs. For a small amount of money, these suspects committed unspeakable acts of violence, while showing Mr. Nova no mercy. The criminal justice system should equally show no mercy in determining their punishment," Commissioner Davis said in a statement.

Davis said at a news conference that the three were arrested Friday night. He would not give the exact amount of money that was stolen, but described it as a little more than $100.

While other people were planning barbecues and going to the beach, the trio were plotting this attack, Conley said.

After the attack, "They fled in his car, taking his money and the food that he brought," Conley said.

The officials said detectives had received community cooperation and developed "substantial evidence" and the trio were arrested on the basis of statements by the suspects, physical evidence, and surveillance video.

more on the victim, by all accounts a gentle and beloved man who was trying to make the American dream come true for his twin daughters.



Nova, who was trained as a tailor in his native Dominican Republic, moved to the United States in 1984. He loved baseball and had a taste for telenovelas, his sister said, and he maintained strong ties to the Dominican Republic, where his parents still live. He also worked on Boston’s Comite de Banilejo - translated as “far from Bani,” the name of Nova’s hometown - which organizes cultural events for Boston’s Dominican community.

But his passion was supporting his twin daughters, Michelle and Marlene Romero, 20, his family said. A funeral will be held Tuesday.

Back in the Dominican Republic, Nova’s father is carrying around a picture of his son, Bernabel said. She added that his daughters are inconsolable.

“They don’t talk and they don’t eat,” she said. “They’re crying all the time. It’s too much.”

Friends recall that Nova, a simple man, had a simple wish: “He wanted to die in his own country,” said Jose Grullon, 19, who worked with Nova at Pizza Hut. “He used to say that he wanted to die under a mango tree.”
The oldest of Nova’s three children, Irving Lara, 22, choked back tears as he said he was trying to be strong for his sisters and mother.
“The whole family is just destroyed. He was like glue. He kept us together,’’ Lara said outside his East Boston home. “I’m trying to do everything for my dad right now.’’

Lara, who works as a mechanic at Logan International Airport, described his father as a quiet, peaceful man who adored his children. He last spoke with his father a few days before he died.

“The last time I actually spoke to him he was coming back from taking my sister to college in North Adams, and I had to give him directions. He went out there with my mother and on the way back wanted to know the exit because last time he got lost,’’ Lara said. “That was it. Five minutes.’’

The killing was personal for Mayor Thomas M. Menino and City Councilor Felix G. Arroyo, who know Nova’s twin 20-year-old daughters. The women, who graduated from Boston Latin School in 2008 and are juniors in college, have worked at City Hall for the past four summers.

“There’s no respect for life anymore,’’ Menino said by phone yesterday, calling the suspects “animals’’ for allegedly stabbing Nova and then taking the pizza box that was stained with his blood. mayor 'mumbles' menino needs to STFU so he doesn't jeopardize the case. he's a moron.

Menino described Nova and his daughters, Michelle and Marlene Romero, as hard-working, good people. They worked in Menino’s office this summer and last; at night they worked second jobs at Logan, the mayor said.

“They loved their father so much,’’ said Menino.

Lara said his father pushed education and was extremely proud that his daughters were in college and had worked for the mayor. His sisters, he said, “will never be the same.’’

“It’s that classic immigrant story of a guy who came here looking for a better life for his children,’’ said Arroyo, whose brother is dating one of Nova’s daughters. “He was working a job he took to put his kids through college . . . and because of some extremely evil people he’s not going to actually be able to see the fruits of that labor.’’

It's difficult for me not to use a derogatory slur when referring to these little bastards.

I see a version of these people whenever I take the shortcut in town. They are all hanging out in the street, curbs & porches of other lowlifes in the middle of a workday. They live in a hovel with a caddy parked in the driveway & they all look alike. Bastards, every last one of them. I hope these kids have experienced their last free moment in society.

any one of those fucks could have been working for a pizza place for some money. instead they chose this. they took the pizza box with Nova's blood splashed on it and ate the pizza in the car they stole. it better be the last stinking pizza they ever eat.
i think the mood in Boston, among people who are sick and damn tired of being savaged by dirty lowlife excuses for humans, may result in a lynch mob at the courthouse tuesday when they are arraigned.

sickening details:

Prosecutors today revealed the chilling details of the late-night slaying of a pizza deliveryman at a vacant home in Hyde Park as the man’s grieving family demanded justice at a packed West Roxbury District Court.

The three suspects accused of fatally stabbing Domino’s deliveryman Richel Nova, 58, last Wednesday night had every intention of killing him, said Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Hickman.

“It was never their intention that Richel Nova would be leaving that home in any other way but a body bag,” Hickman said.

Hyde Park residents Michel Andre St. Jean, 20, and Alexander Emmanuel Gallett, 18, and Yamiley Mathurin, 17, of Mattapan are charged with murder, armed robbery and breaking and entering.

When Mathurin called Domino’s in Hyde Park at about 11 p.m., she asked questions about how much money the deliveryman would have on him to make change, Hickman said. She said Mathurin was informed the drivers only have $20 on them. Mathurin then placed her order, Hickman said.

When Nova arrived at 742 Hyde Park Ave., Mathurin told him the entrance was around back and lured him to a rear porch, saying she needed to get her wallet, Hickman said. St. Jean and Gallett were hiding inside, she said.

Nova was set upon as soon as he walked in the house, where he was stabbed repeatedly in the chest, throat and back, Hickman said. The suspects then went through his pockets for money, she said.

“It was agreed that he had to be finished off,” Hickman said.

That’s when the suspects went through Nova’s belongings one last time before slitting his throat, Hickman said. Officers were called to the home just before midnight. Nova was pronounced dead at 12:05 a.m. on Thursday.

Surveillance video taken from the scene showed Mathurin leaving the vacant home with a box of pizza, Hickman said. The suspects left the scene in Nova’s Subaru Outback, which was found Thursday morning behind St. Adalbert Parish in Hyde Park.

A pizza box covered in blood and containing three pizza slices was found near the car, Hickman said. She said police tracked down St. Jean because the suspects gave his telephone number to Domino’s as a callback number.GOOD THAT THEY'RE STUPID AS SHIT! St. Jean later gave up Mathurin and Gallett, Hickman said.

Mathurin and Gallett showed their faces during the arraignment. St. Jean appeared with his face covered. Their attorneys argued unsuccessfully to keep the suspects from going before Judge Kathleen Coffey.

“I’m not going to have them arraigned in absentia,” Coffey said. “If they want to have a hood on that’s fine, but they need to come out.”

Attorney for suspect in delivery man killing says officials are 'demonizing' his client
September 7, 2010 04:10 PM
Boston Globe Staff

The attorney for one of three people accused of carrying out the premeditated murder of a pizza deliveryman today demanded that the media and public officials stop "demonizing'' his client.

Boston attorney Jeffrey T. Karp represents Michel St. Jean, 20, who was arraigned in West Roxbury Municipal Court today on charges of first degree murder. St. Jean and the other defendants, 18-year-old Alexander E. Gallett of Hyde Park and 17-year-old Yaminey Mathurin of Mattapan all pleaded not guilty and were ordered held without bail.

"It's unfortunate that authorities -- whether it be law enforcement or whether it comes from the mayor's office i said the moron mayor needed to STFU or taint the case! and sure as hell the lawyer jumped right on that!! – are demonizing my client in the press and portraying him as some gangster, thug, hitman or terrorist,'' Karp said. "That's just isn’t the case.''

Karp, in a telephone interview this afternoon, said the allegations that his client was involved in the brutal killing of 58-year-old Richel Nova has stunned St. Jean's relatives.

"This is not something that is consistent with my guy's background, history or even demeanor,'' said Karp, who added that St. Jean has never been arrested prior to being charged with participating in Nova's murder. "He has his own life in front of him.'' NOT ANYMORE!

Karp, St. Jean's attorney, said in the interview that his client's clothing had been seized by Boston police during the investigation and that authorities provided St. Jean with a white jumper to wear to court.

Karp said he noticed the jumper -- which is usually worn by investigators at crime scenes to avoid contaminating evidence -- had a hood. Before St. Jean came into the courtroom, Karp said he pulled the hood up over his client's head.

"I simply just did not want to taint the investigation by having my client's picture splashed across the newspapers so it could possibly lead to a misidentification'' by prosecution witnesses, he said. WHAT COMPLETE HORSESHIT! HE HAD JAIL CLOTHES!

the story of a simple man...from the Boston Globe today. a bit lengthy, but worth reading. 9/12/10

DELIVERED UNTO EVIL
People who knew Richel Nova can’t imagine him gone: The doting father, hard worker, and charmer. As for those charged with killing him, some who know them are entirely at a loss.
After a long night delivering pizza, Richel Nova would head home to an austere apartment with bare walls, a couch, and a small television pointed at a brown recliner. The 58-year-old immigrant from the Dominican Republic spent little on himself, instead saving his change in a large water jug for his twin daughters’ college educations. As soon as they graduated, he planned to return to Bani, the seaside city where he grew up, to rest under a mango tree.

He was just two years away from retirement when he received a delivery order late at night on Sept. 1, a pizza to a house on 742 Hyde Park Ave. in Boston. Inside, police say, waited three young people whose families also came to this country for a better life; they now stand accused of Nova’s vicious murder. In the aftermath of a crime that has stunned the city, Nova’s grief-stricken friends and relatives are praising him for a life well-lived, while friends and relatives of the accused are anguishing over what went so badly wrong.

For most, it is a tragedy for which words seem too small — words like unthinkable, cruel, pointless, barbaric. And the more that emerges about the victim and his alleged assailants, the more unfathomable it all seems.

The Sunday before the murder, Nova was so happy that he danced a little bachata at his sister Ramona’s house in Boston. He had just dropped off a daughter at college, and was there to pick up sweets that his mother had sent him from Bani. He knew his work was almost done.

“He wanted to come home,’’ said his sister Maralis Lugo in a tearful telephone interview from the Dominican Republic. “He wanted to spend his final years here because his girls were strong and on their way. He said he would go into the countryside and build a house. He liked the tranquillity, where you could just listen to the birds.’’

Richel Danilo Nova was raised in a simple concrete block house with a tin roof, the oldest of five children and only son of a police officer in Bani, a municipality of about 100,000 people outside of Santo Domingo. Most everyone there seems to have a relative in the United States.

As a youth, Nova pushed for social change during a time when his home country was afflicted by a repressive government regime and widespread poverty. After a brief stint in college he went to work as a tailor, but in his early 30s it became clear that he would never get ahead on his paltry income. In 1985 he crossed illegally into the United States through Mexico, and quickly found work delivering fruit in New York in the frigid cold. Six months later he moved to Boston to work indoors as a janitor, sharing a single room with his old friend Pablo Guerrero on Washington Street. Eventually, his sisters say, he became a legal resident.

Several years later, Nova met Marilin Pimentel and together they raised a son, Irving, now a 22-year-old mechanic at Logan International Airport, and twin daughters, Marlene and Michelle. The couple later separated, but he doted on the children and refused to work Sundays because his time with them was “sacred,’’ a former supervisor said. He beamed when the twins, now 20, graduated from Boston Latin School and went to college.

He urged every child he met to study hard and go to college, friends said. He valued industry of all kinds, and would save discarded mayonnaise jars for neighborhood children to paint, a means, he believed, of keeping them occupied and off the street.

He kept up with news from his native country, growing indignant when he saw stories about poverty and violent crime, and he would often sing ballads about one day returning. “Mother of mine, don’t cry, I want to return very soon,’’ he would sing in Spanish. “I’m going in search of my future and a worthy life, worthy of you.’’

In recent years he worked two jobs, delivering sandwiches for D’Angelo during the day and pizzas at night. At work, he was an energetic and charming presence, greeting co-workers with a slap on the back and serenading them with salsa songs and boleros.

But the minimum-wage work was notoriously dangerous, and on deliveries, Nova was shrewd and cautious. He refused to step out of his locked car if the lights in the house were off, and called the customer to turn them on. When he left the car, he kept the engine running and the door open, in case he needed to make a quick escape.

“Richie wasn’t the type of person to be too trusting,’’ said Alejandra Madrid, a day manager at Pizza Hut, where Nova used to work. Nova knew which neighborhoods were dangerous and tried to avoid them. A couple of years ago, friends said, a group of thugs robbed him at night and left him with a black eye and a cracked tooth. After that, he tried to avoid late routes, but he recently went back on a Domino’s night shift because he needed the money.
Accused of murder
It was after 11 p.m. on Sept. 1 — his shift was almost over — when he delivered a pizza to the Hyde Park Avenue address., and found the kind of mortal danger he had so carefully tried to avoid. Prosecutors allege Yamiley Mathurin, 17, Alexander Gallett, 18, and Michel St. Jean, 20, lured him inside, stabbed him and, as he lay dying, rifled his pockets for cash. They allegedly took $100, the pizza, and his 1995 green Subaru. The three pleaded not guilty and are being held without bail.

In Hyde Park last week, Gallett’s father wore expressions of frustration and exhaustion as he pulled from a plastic bag three books of religious stories he wanted to give his son in jail.

“My boy, he’s a smart kid,’’ said Alex J. Gallett, sitting at the kitchen table inside the apartment he shares with his wife. “I was always telling him to go to the library, read and learn.’’

Gallett, an immigrant from Haiti, said he sent his American-born son to the Caribbean nation three years ago in hopes that he would study medicine and become a doctor. But the boy rebelled. He returned to Boston last year for a medical appointment and he refused his father’s exhortations to return to Haiti.

His decision created a rift with his father, and the younger Gallett moved out to stay with friends. He attended high school in West Roxbury, where friends said he played football.

The father said he had dreamed of opening a pharmacy in Haiti with his son. “Now, I don’t know. My son could be in jail for life,’’ he said. “He liked his friends better than us, and now he’s in this position.’’

He said he himself was shot three times in 1994 by youths while driving a taxi in Dorchester. “The kids that did that, they were just young boys, I think 14 and 16,’’ he said. “Sometimes kids do things and parents don’t know what they’re doing. Maybe my son had two faces.’’

A week before the attack on Nova, Gallett said, his son called him to ask for a ride to a mall for a job interview at a restaurant. After the interview, Gallett dropped off his son on Hyde Park Avenue. He did not hear from him again until he called from jail.

In Miami, St. Jean’s older sister, Tania, a college student, said in a telephone interview that her brother had moved to Massachusetts in July in hopes of studying mechanical engineering at Northeastern University or the University of Massachusetts Boston. He was born in Boston, but their mother raised him and his two sisters in Florida and Haiti.

St. Jean left Haiti after the Jan. 12 earthquake and stayed with his sister in Miami for a bit while she helped him apply to college and for financial aid. In Boston, he was living with an aunt and uncle and said he was searching for a part-time job to pay for school.

Tania St. Jean said her brother called her almost every day. She said he had a heart problem that made playing sports risky, and he did not like to fight.

“When I read about what happened, I was shocked,’’ said St. Jean, 24. “To the family of the victim, I’m very sorry for their loss. But my brother, he is not a violent person, never has been that way.’’

And in Braintree, a woman who was close to Mathurin when she attended South Shore Charter Public School in Norwell said she collapsed when she heard about the arrest. The girl she knew, the daughter of a single mother who worked as a nurse, “had a light about her.’’ She loved singing gospel music at church every Sunday and Miley Cyrus songs with the woman’s daughter during frequent visits to their home. She described Mathurin as gentle.

“She was kind. She had never been in a physical fight,’’ said the woman, who declined to be named because she feared for her own family’s safety.

She struggled academically, but flourished when she applied herself. She fulfilled a community-service requirement at the charter school by working in a child-care center at the school.

But before the 2009-2010 school year, her mother decided to move to Boston and Mathurin transferred to high school in Hyde Park.

The day after learning of the crime, the woman said she spoke to Mathurin’s mother on the phone, and they sobbed.

“We both said, `What are we going to do?’ ’’ she said.

But one of Mathurin’s cousins, who declined to be named because he did not want to have problems with the other families involved in the case, said he had been worried about Mathurin and her devotion to Gallett, her boyfriend, who had no job. He said Mathurin should have yelled for help as Nova lay dying.

“She didn’t do that,’’ he said.


In mourning
The day after Nova’s funeral, his sisters Ramona and Colombina; his son, Irving; and Guerrero went to his first-floor apartment in a woodsy section of Hyde Park to collect his things. They carried out the giant jug of coins and his old salsa and merengue records. They found signs of the old artist in him — he had created perfect spheres using hundreds of pizza receipts.

On the backs of envelopes, he had jotted some thoughts about poverty and ways to fix it.

Near the door were a few pairs of worn shoes. He had refused to buy new ones.

“Why do I have to have so many pairs of shoes if I only need one?’’ Maralis recalled her brother saying. “He didn’t care about material things. What was important to him were people.’’

Friends and former co-workers believe his street smarts and his sense of kindness collided that night when he stood with a pizza in front of the faded yellow house with overgrown hedges.

A street light blazed above him. Before him stood a girl, not much younger than his own daughters, who allegedly lured him inside by saying that she had forgotten her wallet upstairs.

His family in the Dominican Republic built him a simple tomb, but his relatives here decided to bury him in Everett. In Bani, the relatives he left behind — his elderly parents, Ramon and Gisela, and sisters Maralis and Bernalda — are mourning him with nine days of prayer. They will place a photograph in his empty grave.

“He did not deserve the death they gave him,’’ Maralis Lugo said. “We were hoping to see him one last time.’’

i SAID he needed to shut the fuck up back on sept. 5! (post #3)
jesus what a maroon! 22


Mayor Thomas M. Menino’s loose-lipped gaffe that he’d like to “slowly torture” the accused killers of a Domino’s Pizza deliveryman are “inflammatory” and could poison the pool of prospective jurors, one of the defendants’ lawyers said yesterday.

“They are prejudicial and they do taint a jury pool - that the mayor wants to torture the people. How does he know they are guilty? Don’t you have to figure out if they are guilty first? Isn’t that how it works?” said the defense lawyer, who requested anonymity to avoid compromising his own case.

“It doesn’t do the system any good for public officials to be making statements like that,” he added.

In his merciless remarks, delivered calmly to a group of Emerson College students last week, Menino said that while he doesn’t support the death penalty, he wouldn’t mind administering his own rough justice to the two men and woman charged with butchering Richel Nova, 58, a Hyde Park father of two.

“If I saw these guys in a dark alley, I’d like to have a fight with them,” Menino said. “I’d do some things that would be worse than the death penalty. . . . Because it wouldn’t happen in a second. I would slowly torture them.”
Blah-blah-0006Blah-blah-0006Blah-blah-0006

The mayor’s comments were recorded by a student and printed in yesterday’s Boston Globe. Asked at a charity fund-raiser last night if he planned to apologize for his off-the-cuff remarks, Menino gave a curt “no” and refused to discuss their impact on a trial.

Earlier, Menino told WBZ radio he regretted his remarks but wouldn’t back down from them: “Maybe it was too harsh about ‘torture’, but they tortured this gentleman. . . . Maybe I shouldn’t have said what I said, but I feel very strongly about justice in this one. Some would say ‘You shouldn’t say it because you’re the mayor.’ Well, I’m a human being also, and I feel very strongly about this incident and I’ll live with what I said.”

The wantonness and apparent premeditation of the ambush killing shocked hardened police officers and stunned the community.

But several legal experts said such condemning words from the city’s chief executive and most powerful elected official could jeopardize jury selection in the murder trial of Michel St. Jean, 20, Alexander Gallett, 18, and Yamiley Mathurin, 17.

“These unfortunate comments will make it very difficult to select an unbiased jury because of both the language of torture and the prominence of the mayor,” said former prosecutor J.W. Carney Jr.

Added criminal defense attorney Timothy Bradl, a former Hub homicide prosecutor: “It’s a pretty juicy tidbit to put into a motion for a change of venue.”

hearing yesterday, they stay in jail, no bond. they have confessed.the trial will begin on Halloween of 2011. Oct. 31.
and again, i said that idiot asshole mayor marino should have kept his yap shut, the defense is all over that.


BOSTON GLOBE
Eighteen-year-old Alexander Emmanuel Gallett told police that they did not have any money to pay the $32 bill for two pepperoni pizzas, chicken wings, and soda, so he and a friend repeatedly stabbed the victim, Richel Nova, after Gallett’s girlfriend lured the Domino’s deliveryman inside the second-floor apartment at 742 Hyde Park Ave. on the pretext of getting her wallet, the prosecutor said.

Assistant District Attorney Jennifer Hickman said Gallett told police during the Sept. 3 interview that there was an intense struggle as Nova, a 58-year-old father of three, tried to fend off the at tack as the two men dragged him into a bedroom and Gallett’s friend Michel Andre St. Jean shouted: “Finish him! Finish him!’’

Gallett, a student at West Roxbury High School, confessed that he slit Nova’s throat, then he and St. Jean, who broke a knife while stabbing Nova, emptied the victim’s pockets of his cash and car keys as he gasped for breath, Hickman said.

St. Jean, 20, of Hyde Park, offered a different version during a separate police interview, according to Hickman, alleging that Gallett alone stabbed Nova while he watched and helped remove money from the victim’s pockets.

Gallett’s girlfriend, 17-year-old Yamiley Mathurin, a Mattapan resident who attends Hyde Park High School, told police that she was present when Nova was killed, but her account differed from her friends’, Hickman said.

Mathurin said she had $40 to pay for the food and blamed the victim for his own death, contending that the struggle began when Nova threw an unprovoked punch at St. Jean, Hickman said.

“She said Mr. Nova was screaming and she knew Mr. Nova was dead when he stopped screaming,’’ Hickman said.

Gallett, St. Jean, and Mathurin pleaded not guilty in Suffolk Superior Court to indictments a grand jury handed down Monday charging each of them with first-degree murder, armed robbery, and breaking and entering with the intent to commit a felony.

All three sat behind a partition yesterday, which obscured their faces from photographers and spectators, who got only a glimpse of them as they were led in and out of the courtroom. Defense lawyers said none of three has a prior criminal record.

After the hearing, Peter Krupp, the Boston lawyer who represents Gallett, said, “From everything I know about my client, the allegations in this case are totally out of character.’’

He said he was troubled by comments Mayor Thomas M. Menino and others have made about the case and is concerned about whether his client will receive a fair trial.

Nova’s twin 20-year-old daughters, now juniors in college, have worked at Boston City Hall for the last four summers, the past two in the mayor’s office.

St. Jean’s lawyer, Robert Jubinville of Milton, said St. Jean insists he did not kill Nova, but watched as his friend did.

“He said he had no idea they were going to kill anybody,’’ Jubinville said.

Steven Sack, the Boston lawyer who represents Mathurin, said, “She denies many of the facts that the prosecutor stated in court, and we’ll have to have a trial to see how the process plays out.’’

Clerk Magistrate Gary Wilson ordered all three, who have been in custody since their Sept. 3 arrests, to remain jailed without bail. He set a Dec. 16 pretrial hearing and slated a trial date of Oct. 31, 2011.

Nova’s 22-year-old son, Irving Lara of East Boston, and about 20 friends and relatives of the victim attended the hearing, some closing their eyes and covering their faces as graphic details of the slaying were described. Visibly shaken, he declined to comment afterward.

During the hearing, Hickman said one of Mathurin’s friends told police that she overheard Mathurin, Gallett, and St. Jean talking earlier on the day of the slaying of their plans to commit a robbery and that St. Jean said “he needed to find a victim.’’

The prosecutor described Mathurin as “the face of this crime,’’ and said it was successful because of her ability to pass herself off as an innocent, sweet teenager.

According to Hickman, Mathurin borrowed a cellphone from a neighbor to place the food order, then called Domino’s twice to ask why it was taking so long before Nova, making his last delivery of the night, arrived at 11:36.

Mathurin greeted Nova outside the vacant house, then raised no suspicion as she asked him to follow her upstairs as she fetched her wallet, Hickman said.

After the slaying, Mathurin, Gallett, and St. Jean fled in Nova’s car, taking the pizza with them, Hickman said.

Later, Mathurin sent a text message on her cellphone seeking to buy a gun with a silencer, Hickman said.

After the hearing, Suffolk District Attorney Daniel F. Conley called the details chilling and added, “This was one of those crimes that shocked the city in a year, unfortunately, of some pretty shocking crimes.’’
