candy store owner is accused of murdering a homeless woman with a sword, telling police he was tired of her hanging around the shop.
According to court documents, the owner of the Candy Market, Abdelhakim Choubabi, walked to officers after they arrived and turned himself in. Choubabi stated something about acting in self-defense, court documents say, but there was a major language barrier and officers were unable to read him his Miranda rights, as Choubabi speaks Arabic.
Detectives then spoke to Choubabi with an interpreter and read him his Miranda rights. Choubabi told detectives he was tired of the homeless woman because she constantly stole things, "smelled bad" and would urinate outside the store, court documents say. The same day of her murder, Choubabi said he had called police to have her moved away from the store, but officers left when they reportedly saw she was leaving.
