"We have no evidence to support the fact this crime was a race crime," says Knoxville, Tenn, Police Chief Owen, adding it was a “random” act that lead to Christopher Newsom and Channon Christian, right, being, brutally gang raped for days and murdered and burned by the suspects at left.
   Newsom, was raped, had his penis cut off, then set on fire and fatally shot several times while his girlfriend, Channon Christian, watched. Channon Christian, was beaten and gang-raped in many ways for four days by all of them, while they took turns urinating on her. Then they cut off her breast and poured chemicals in her mouth ... and then murdered her.
