Man blamed for rail disaster charged with murder

A suicidal man said to have parked his Jeep in the path of a commuter train, causing a horrific crash that killed 11 people, is expected to appear in court today charged with murder.

The criminal case moved forward against Juan Alvarez yesterday as police and forensics experts worked to gather evidence from the crime scene in Glendale, California, and coroner’s investigators searched the tangled wreckage for any remaining body parts.
