Killer of gay man in Houston gets life sentence: “Terry Mark Mangum, 27, of Cypress, killed Kenneth Cummings, 46, because he hated homosexuals, the Brazoria County jury found Wednesday. Mangum had been out of prison just three weeks when he met Cummings at a Houston bar on June 4, 2007, testimony showed. He had served a five-year sentence for burglary. The two parted ways and then met again later that night at another club. Security cameras showed them buying wine and beer at a Houston supermarket. They then went to Cummings’ Pearland home. Sometime that night Mangum slit Cummings’ throat and stabbed him in the back of the head, breaking 1.5 inches of a knife blade, prosecutors said.” The jury concluded that the murder was a hate crime. He’ll be eligible for parole in 30 years.
