Teen murder suspect headed back to Texas

081506_brown.jpgSean Brown, one of the teens charged with murdering 16-year-old Ashton Glover waived his extradition rights yesterday in a Michigan court and will be brought back to Texas.

Brown and Matt McCombs, both 18 and both of Sugar Land, were caught trying to flee to Canada through Michigan on July 12. McCombs was brought back to Fort Bend County last month and confessed to killing Glover on July 7 out of "morbid curiosity." Brown, on the other hand, requested an extradition hearing and has been in Port Huron, Mich., for the past month; Fort Bend County sheriff's detectives will travel to Michigan and pick him up, a spokeswoman said. He should be back in the area within a few days.

There hasn't been much indication yet of exactly what charges the pair will face, but Fort Bend County Sheriff Milton Wright told reporters last month that he didn't think the case would reach the level of capital murder.
