Kidnappers slaughter top doctor’s family

TWO men were charged with burglary, arson and sexual assault for allegedly breaking into a doctor’s home, forcing a hostage to withdraw cash at a bank and setting the house on fire several hours later, killing the doctor’s wife and two daughters.

William Petit Jr, a prominent endocrinologist, was severely injured and was the sole survivor of Monday’s attack.

The suspects were caught fleeing the burning home, which they apparently set on fire to cover their tracks, authorities said.
