    Family of slain teen angered suspect is on house arrest

    GLENVIEW, Ill. (AP) — The family of a 15-year-old suburban Chicago boy stabbed to death earlier this month say their anguish over his killing is heightened by a judge’s decision to release the suspect on house arrest. A Cook County judge last week placed the 16-year-old suspect on home electronic monitoring until his next court date, on Sept. 9. He faces a second-degree murder charge in Elias Valdez’s Aug. 5 fatal stabbing in the Cook County village of Glenview. Valdez’s sister, Elizabeth Valdez, tells WLS-TV that it’s unfair that the suspect is allowed to stay at home, She says, “We want him to be in jail.”
