ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — Three teenage boys are being held in detention facilities in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, for allegedly beating to death two homeless men.

Police say the men were beaten so badly that their bodies were nearly unrecognizable.

Eighteen-year-old Alex Rios has been charged with two counts of murder and related offenses.

The other suspects are 16- and 15 years old. A third victim says he got away.
