Criminal histories of slain teen perjury suspects

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Two men arrested in connection to the murder of 16-year-old Mujey Dumbuya will be back in court Tuesday.

Daren Eckford and Gerald Bennett were arrested for lying to investigators.

A detective on the case says that Bennett knows about the murder and may have helped. Detective Case Weston wrote in court documents that he believes that Bennett assisted in the planning or even the execution of the crime.

Bennett is a 58-year-old man from the Detroit area. He has a long criminal history dating back to his teens. When he was 17, he was convicted of rape and robbery after being acquitted in a gang rape at the Cobo Center the year before.
