Man Beat, Stabbed And Then Burned Alive In A Dumpster

BRANDON - The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office says they have arrested three people for the murder of a man whose body was found in a burning dumpster early Tuesday morning.
Deputies say 20-year-olds Brendan Terry and Kasey Ackerman and 18-year-old David Link II, all of Brandon, were arrested late Tuesday night after they were questioned by authorities.
Terry and Ackerman were charged with first degree murder while Link was charged with accessory after the fact in first degree murder.
According to the sheriff's office, the victim, who has not been identified, was brutally beaten and stabbed at the apartment the three suspects shared before he was set on fire in a dumpster behind a medical building on East Brandon Boulevard.
Firefighters found the body after they extinguished the blaze around 2:30 a.m. Tuesday.
Investigators say the victim met Terry, Ackerman, and Link outside the Brandon Town Center on May 3 and came to their apartment to use various drugs. Upon his arrival, deputies say the victim used Xanax, became incoherent, and passed out in Ackerman's bedroom.
Ackerman and Terry then began stabbing the victim in the chest and neck, and, according to detectives, an unnamed witness saw the victim bleeding from the neck while standing the bedroom doorway.
Deputies say that the victim was then ordered to take off his clothes and get into the bathtub, where Ackerman continued to kick and punch him. Soon after, detectives say Ackerman noted that the victim was not dead and stabbed him in the neck again.
The suspects then put the victim, who was still alive, according to the unnamed witness, into a duffel bag and used a dolly to cart him from the apartment to the dumpster behind the Florida Orthopaedic Institute, less than a block away.
Investigators say Ackerman then poured gasoline, which Link and the unnamed witness had been sent to purchase at a nearby gas station, over the victim and ignited the fire.
The witness told deputies that the victim could be heard screaming from the dumpster as the fire was set.

Hey, Mr. Witness, ever heard of picking up the phone and dialing 911?

And wtf is up with that guy's hair? He's 20 and receding that bad? Or is that how they wear mullets now a days?

Mr Witness went to the gas station to get gas. I'm sure there will be more charges filled once the victims name is released....

His silence is just as bad.

lol, did he get it for them to burn him? I have to wonder if they were all on drugs stronger than the xanax the victim took.

That's too quick and painless for such trash. Burning them alive would be more fitting, as long as their torture could last at least as long as their victim's.

p.s. All three of them have the weirdest hair, almost like bad wigs.

OMFG! I seriously cannot imagine a more painful and gruesome death--These monsters are a special kind of Evil! Was the witness afraid that he could be the next one into the dumpster if he didn't go along with them? I can't imagine anyone just standing by while this horror was occuring! May the victims screams haunt these murderers til the day they die.

Five people were arrested in the gruesome 2010 murder of 26-year-old Robert Brewer, who was repeatedly stabbed and then set on fire in a Brandon trash bin. And on Monday, a judge sentenced the final person.

Kasey Ackerman, 23, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and kidnapping. He will spend the rest of his life in prison.
[...]

Authorities accused Ackerman and his friend Brendan Terry of stabbing Brewer multiple times. When Brewer did not die, they stabbed him again. Finally, another man, Randy Allen Morris, went to buy gasoline.

The men carried Brewer to a nearby trash bin. He was still alive when they set him on fire.

Morris, 37, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and kidnapping last year and was sentenced to 20 years in prison.

In 2010, Terry, 23, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-degree murder, as well as kidnapping. He was sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Ackerman's then-girlfriend, Rosanna DiMauro, 41, and her son, David Link, 21, both admitted assisting the attackers after the killing.

DiMauro helped clean up the blood. She was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2011.

Link helped carry Brewer to the trash bin, and also helped buy the $3 worth of gas used to set him on fire. He was sentenced to three years in prison after pleading guilty in 2010 to being an accessory after the fact.

He served two-and-a-half of those years and was released in November.
