Freeze! Freeze!

The pretrial hearing of Lawrence Monk

and Arthur Cooms is set to begin tomorrow.

Monk and Cooms are accused of the mutilation

and murder of 10-year-old Daniel Lewin.

The District Attorney's office

has confirmed to Eyewitness News...

that the murder of the Lewin boy

was part of a child-pornography ring...

in which small boys were kidnapped,

drugged...

used in pornographic films

and then murdered.

Precisely why did you stop the vehicle

driven by the defendants?

We ran a D.M. V. Check on the vehicle...

and the response was that

there were outstanding warrants.

- And then what did you do?

- I informed the driver.

- Mr. Monk?

- Right, Mr. Monk.

I informed him

that the warrants were outstanding.

And what was Mr. Monk's response?

He said that he thought

there must be some mistake...

that he had already paid

his traffic tickets.

Well, I told him I didn't have any choice.
