A Florida man has been charged with murder after he allegedly stabbed another man to death with a three foot long sword.
George C. Livingston, 51, was arrested after the victim’s body was found covered in blood near the railroad tracks in Lake Worth on Saturday afternoon.
The sword was found lying near the bloodied body.
Detectives interviewed witnesses and quickly detained Livingston.
The victim has been identified as 58-year-old David Beckett, according to the Sun Sentinel.
Police say the two men had lived together in a nearby homeless camp.
The fatal stabbing stemmed from the a fight the duo had, but police are not yet clear on what prompted it.
Livingston is being held without bond on a second-degree murder charge.
The booking sheet described the charge as ‘murder dangerous depraved without premeditation.’
Livingston was denied bail given his two prior prison sentences for aggravated stalking.
