A church janitor from Easton accused of killing the parish priest in Chatham, N.J., had been wanted since 1988 in Philadelphia for indecent assault of a minor, authorities said today in court.
Jose Feliciano, 64, of the 100 block of Ann Street, is charged with the stabbing death of the Rev. Edward Hinds a week ago in the rectory of Saint Patrick Church.
Feliciano had been using multiple identifications and Social Security numbers over the years to hide his past, Morris County Assistant Prosecutor Leslie Wade told Judge Thomas Manahan in Superior Court in Morristown, N.J.
A judge has ordered that bail be kept at $1 million for the janitor accused of killing Hinds by stabbing him 32 times. Today's Superior Court appearance was Feliciano's first since his arrest.
Judge Thomas Manahan adjusted Feliciano's bail from cash, bond or property to cash solely.
Court documents say Hinds discussed firing Feliciano one day before his death.
