CHICAGO (TCD) — Authorities have reportedly found the body of a young woman during a search of a suspect’s home, who is already accused of killing a repairman using the victim’s own screwdriver. The incident took place in Chicago’s Little India neighborhood.
Brandon Sanders, the suspect, was apprehended on charges of first-degree murder, residential burglary, and forcible murder. The victim, Rasim Katanic, a Bosnian immigrant working as an HVAC contractor, was fatally stabbed on May 12.
The victim has been identified as Rasim Katanic, a Bosnian immigrant who worked as an HVAC contractor, as per reports by WLS-TV.
The incident occurred while Katanic was working on a job on the roof of Tahoora Sweets & Bakery. Sanders allegedly approached the victim and fatally stabbed him.
Another disturbing discovery was made at Sanders’ residence in West Ridge. The police found the body of Iman Al-Sarraj inside a refrigerator. She showed signs of physical assault.
Sanders has a history of criminal behavior. He was previously arrested in Montana in 2019 on charges of forcing his wife into sex trafficking. However, due to COVID-19 risks, his wife, a German citizen, returned to Germany, and the case was dropped.
Prior to this incident, Sanders had pleaded guilty to assaulting an ex-girlfriend by choking her after hiding in her car.
On the day of Katanic’s stabbing, Sanders reportedly made a call to the FBI’s National Threat Operations Center, expressing his desire to \”overthrow the government.\” Surveillance footage captured Sanders in a courtyard before he ascended a staircase to the roof and committed the murder.
The following day, Sanders allegedly broke into a college student’s apartment using the same screwdriver used in the previous murder. He shaved and changed his clothes, put his boots in the oven, and placed Katanic’s wallet on a table. Sanders then went to a furniture store where he worked and encountered his uncle, who became concerned and alerted the police.
After these events, Sanders returned to Evanston, where he approached a police officer and requested to be taken to the hospital.
