California authorities have charged a man in a violent spree that left three people dead and two more injured after he allegedly slashed their throats. Ryan Scott Blinston, 37, faces charges of murder, attempted murder and arson. His alleged crimes carry special sentencing due to the alleged use of a weapon and the attack on an elderly victim, officials said. Blinston worked for a tree-trimming business, including on the homes of some of his victims, according to the Butte County District Attorney. He returned to the home of elderly couple Loreen and Homer Severs – 88 and 91, respectively – and allegedly slashed their throats on May 18, 2020. Loreen died immediately, but Homer survived the attack, later dying due to an unrelated illness in December of that year, authorities said.
