Online Date Leads To Hayward Kidnap, Beating
HAYWARD (BCN) ―
Three Hayward residents are facing kidnapping and attempted murder chargers in connection with the beating of a San Jose man who had responded to an online personals ad.
Hayward police say 28-year-old Rodolfo Aguilar, 32-year-old Salim Ahmed and 20-year-old Lydia Troche remain in custody after being arrested in connection with last month's attack.
Police say the 22-year-old man had gone to a Hayward motel to meet a woman after responding to a social networking Web site.
When the man arrived at the motel, police say he was beaten by the three suspects.
The three then allegedly used the victim's ATM card to get cash, drove him to the Bethany Reservoir and beat him some more.
Fishermen found him the next morning.
The victim has since recovered from his injuries. His name has not been released.
