Husband beats wife's would-be rapist to death

The alleged rapist, 43-year-old Earl Nash, forced his way into the building shortly after 10 p.m., authorities said. Other relatives were outside at the time, and the woman’s husband was at his car about to leave for work.

The couple’s son said he then saw his mother and aunt in the lobby being attacked.

“He started beating on my mother and my aunt, and they started fighting back,” the son said. “He tried to rip their clothes off and he tried to sexually harass them.”

The son alerted his father, who ran inside to find the suspect assaulting his wife, police said. The two got into a fight and Nash was severely beaten.
