Authorities in Montgomery, Alabama, have said they intend to seek the death penalty against the two suspects in the Washington sniper killings. John Allen Muhammad, 41, and his stepson John Lee Malvo, 17, were arrested after a string of shootings in the Washington area left 10 people dead and another three critically injured. The pair were captured at a Maryland rest stop early on Thursday morning where police found them asleep in their car. Montgomery Police Chief John Wilson said there was enough evidence to seek murder warrants against Mr Muhammad and Mr Malvo for the killing of a woman at the liquor store in Alabama last month. "We are absolutely convinced we have a very strong case," Mr Wilson told a press conference in the Alabama capital, adding that several witnesses had identified the men.
