Meford Rampage Suspect Moved

The man charged in a deadly rampage last week in Burlington County has been moved to a state psychiatric hospital.

Authorities said Ronald Pituch was moved this weekend after he showed signs that he might also kill himself. He was charged Friday in the deaths of his 62-year-old mother, Josephine, and 11-year-old Gregory Katsnelson.

Pituch was scheduled to appear in court Monday, but that was canceled after he was moved to the Ann Klein Forensic Center in Trenton. A new court date has not been scheduled.

The 26-year-old Medford man faces murder charges and several other counts stemming from Thursday's rampage. He allegedly killed his mother when she refused to buy him a pack of cigarettes and then tied up his five-year-old niece.

He then allegedly killed Katsnelson and attacked an elderly neighbor who happened to cross his path.
