LOS ANGELES — A Los Angeles man has been charged with slashing his ex-wife and a former music industry executive with a machete and knife while holding them hostage for more than five hours.
City News Service says Behnam Vasseghi was charged Tuesday with more than a dozen felony counts, including attempted murder, torture and aggravated mayhem.
Prosecutors say Jerry Sharell, a former record and radio network executive, was at home with his girlfriend on Sunday when Vasseghi took them hostage.
