Hemet -- Police in Hemet say they've caught arrested a suspect wanted for
raping elderly women in the area.

21-year old Kenneth Daniels Jr. of San Jacinto was initially arrested for
attempted burglary and resisting arrest, but was later booked in connection
with the rapes of two women. One of those women was attacked twice, and the
other died of injuries sustained in the attack.

Officers working undercover in the area of the attacks observed the suspect
enter the complex where two women had been raped in the past few months. One
of those victims was attacked twice, and the other died of injuries
sustained in her attack.

Police say the suspect was observed jumping the fence at the address, and
matched the description of the serial rapist police have been looking for.

As officers moved in to follow the suspect, police dispatch received a call
from an elderly female inside the complex who indicated someone was trying
to break into her apartment through a partially open window.

Officers quickly responded to the area and located a black male in a dark
hooded sweatshirt walking away at a high rate of speed.

Officers identified themselves and ordered the subject to stop, but he fled
on foot eastbound through the complex and out the front gate. Officers
apprehended him a short distance south of the main entrance after a brief
struggle.

The suspect, identified as 21-year old Kenneth Daniels Jr. of San Jacinto,
was initially arrested for attempted burglary and resisting arrest.

Follow up investigation resulted in Daniels being booked for murder with
special circumstances, two counts of rape during the commission of a
residential burglary, one count of causing great bodily injury during a
rape, two counts of forced oral copulation, one count of attempted burglary
and one count of resisting arrest.

Based on the serious nature of the charges Daniels is being held without
bail.

Anyone with additional information about Daniels or the case is asked to
contact Detective Scott Jernegan at 765-2421.
