The type of break-in known as "home invasion" is something Roanoke police say is a growing trend.

They're looking into that, Jean.
There have been a few recent break-ins in Northwest Roanoke that follow a pattern:
A group of people target and rob a specific home.
That's the kind of robbery attempt that led to this morning's murder.
But police have not yet ruled that Melvin Lee's murder was connected to other home invasions.

This afternoon a judge denied Cressell's bond request saying he is a potential flight risk and possesses a prior criminal record.
Cressell is accused of burning and beheading Garnett Johnson at a drinking party last summer.
At one time Cressell was free on bond when charged with first degree murder.
But he was immediately sent back to jail-- when he was charged with CAPITAL murder=
That, after co-defendant Louis Ceparano entered a plea and agreed to testify against Cressell.

The Clinton administration has now upped the anti in the battle over the
testimony of Secret Service Agents, filing an appeal with Supreme Court
Chief Justice William Renquist -
This after a day of legal maneuvering by all sides involved.
This morning, Agent Larry Cockell arrived at the Federal Courthouse, in
compliance with yesterday's order by the Grand Jury's presiding judge
forcing him to honor Ken Starr's subpoena. But Cockell and his attorneys
soon left after the Court of Appeals put a temporary halt to the
testimony, saying it needed more time to analyze the situation -
Then, just a few hours later, the Court of Appeals ruled against
reviewing the Secret Service issueissuing an unusually strongly worded
opiniontelling the justice department that it seemed to be operating in
the interest of the president, not the government.
(SOT/Janet Reno/Attorney General) "What's at stake, based on what the
Secret Service has advised is the safety of the President of the united
States now and for years to come - and I think it's too important not to
pursue in every way possible"
White House Press Secretary Mike McCurry echoed the attorney general's
concerns
(SOT/Mike McCurry/White House Press Secretary) "I think as a human being
if Bill Clinton knew that these guys could do in and testify and clear
him of course he would want to do that. But I think he understand why as
a matter of principle the Dept. of Treasury on behalf of the Secret
Service made this argument in court."
McCurry disputed one judge's accusation that the administration's agents
have declared war, literally and figuratively, on the independent
counsel.
Stand Up Close: That same Court of Appeals judge also warned the
Justice Department that even if the Supreme court agrees to hear the
appeal, its case it too weak to win. MM CBS News))[5-Texas-Heat]
