Police: 3rd Man Arrested in Westchester Day Laborer's Death

A third suspect has been arrested in connection with the beating death of a day laborer in suburban New York's Westchester County.

Mount Kisco Public Safety Commissioner George Longworth says 39-year-old Mario Coronado-Depaz was arrested Friday on a manslaughter charge.

Police said 53-year-old Jose Sanchez was fatally beaten in a wooded area in Mount Kisco. The homeless laborer was found in the swampy terrain around 8 p.m. Sunday.

An autopsy showed he died of blunt-force injuries. Police have not identified any weapon used in the killing.

Two other suspects were arrested earlier this week.

Coronado-Depaz was being held Friday for arraignment. It was not immediately clear whether he had an attorney who could comment on the arrest.
