Charges dropped in 2016 Aberdeen double homicide

All charges against Terrell Walton, one of two men accused of committing a double homicide in Aberdeen in June 2016, have been dropped, but police and prosecutors say they have not ended their pursuit of justice for the victims and their loved ones. "We're still working it as an open and active investigation," Lt. Will Reiber, a spokesperson for the Aberdeen Police Department , said Wednesday. Twenty-three charges filed against Walton, 31, of Aberdeen, were dropped Aug. 15, according to online court records . He had not been to trial.

Regeni was undeterred. Proficient in five languages, he was insatiably curious and exuded a low-intensity charm that attracted a wide circle of friends. From 12 to 14, he served as youth mayor of his hometown, Fiumicello. He prided himself on his ability to navigate different cultures, and he relished Cairo ’s unruly street life : the smoky cafes, the endless hustle, the candy- colored party boats that plied the Nile at night. He registered as a visiting scholar at American University in Cairo and found a room in Dokki, a traffic-choked neighborhood between the Pyramids and the Nile, where he shared an apartment with two young professionals : Juliane Schoki, who taught German, and Mohamed El Sayad , a lawyer at one of Cairo’s oldest law firms . Dokki was an unfashionable address, but it was just two subway stops from downtown Cairo with its maze of cheap hotels, dive bars and crumbling apartment blocks encircling Tahrir Square . Regeni soon befriended writers and artists and practi...
