DELIBERATIONS START IN DEATHS OF PROSTITUTES

Jury began deliberating Wednesday the guilt or innocence of Chander "Bobby" Matta, accused of killing three prostitutes last Memorial Day weekend.

Defense attorney William Moffitt admitted in his closing arguments that Matta, 22, killed Sherry Larman, 26; Sandra Johnson, 20; and Jodie Phillips, 16.

Commonwealth's Attorney Helen Fahey in her closing arguments told the jury the killings were the result of "a sick, aggressive, sexual fantasy."
