4 Stabbed to Death, 5th Hurt

SANTA CLARA, Calif. — An amusement park worker was in custody today after the stabbing deaths of four relatives and the wounding of a fifth, a crime neither police nor the uncle who summoned authorities can explain.

Joselito C. Camangian, 23, who arrived in Santa Clara from the Philippines about five months ago, was arrested late Thursday at a gas station about a block from the duplex where the bodies of two women and two men were found. A bloodied kitchen knife was found in the yard. Officers arrived in response to a call from Camangian’s uncle, Elmer Gale, who said the suspect told him he “was crazy” during the stabbings.
