Accused Killer Frees Hostages, Stays Put

After a 40-hour standoff, a man released his estranged girlfriend, their infant son and his own brother but refused to surrender in the slaying of the woman’s 5-year-old son. Quinton Hunnicutt, 22, is accused of stabbing the child to death before taking hostages in the small house in south Atlanta. He had earlier released two other hostages--his 10-year-old sister and his 3-year-old daughter. “Everybody is out of the house except the suspect. They’re still talking to him,” said police spokeswoman Jan Northstar.
