An illegal immigrant from Honduras has been charged with murder after stabbing a woman in a car park outside a busy superstore

Luis A. Rodriguez-Flamenco is accused of repeatedly stabbing Kathleen I. Byham, 45, in the Wal-Mart car park west of the village of Albion in New York. Rodriguez-Flamenco, 24, from Honduras was arrested after an all-night search by numerous police agencies. He was refused bail and is being held in Orleans County Jail. Police said that the victim had just left the large discount retailer after shopping alone when she was approached by three men - including Rodriguez-Flamenco, as she arrived at her car. She suffered multiple stab wounds to the torso. She was shopping by herself and was not with any of the three men. Byham was rushed to Medina Memorial Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Several witnesses to the attack gave police descriptions of the three men who fled the scene following the stabbing. Two of the men were tracked down to separate homes in the village about 90 minutes after the attack. The pair were illegal immigrants from Mexico and have been turned over to the U.S. Border Patrol.
