New England Patriots star 'brutally gunned down his friend because he talked to the "wrong people" at a nightclub' - as he is arrested and charged with murder
By DAILY MAIL REPORTER
New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez picked up his friend Odin
Lloyd at his house, drove him to an abandoned industrial park and
brutally executed him with five gunshots - all because Lloyd talked to
the 'wrong people' at a nightclub, prosecutors have revealed.
Hernandez, a 23-year-old tight end who had a $37.5million NFL contract,
was arrested at his mansion in North Attleboro, Massachusetts, on
Wednesday and charged with murder and weapons violations.
Less than two hours after his arrest, the Patriots cut Hernandez from
the team - despite paying him a $12.5million signing bonus last year.
The arrest caps off more than a week of intense media scrutiny. Lloyd, a
semi-professional football player who was dating the sister of
Hernandez's girlfriend, was found murdered execution-style less than a
mile from Hernandez's $1.3million home on June 17.

Hernandez is being held without bail, with the judge citing the gravity
of the crime as the main reason behind his decision. Hernandez has hired
two of the nation's top criminal defense attorneys, who maintain that
the evidence against him is 'circumstantial.'
According to the Boston Globe, prosecutors revealed that Hernandez
'orchestrated' the murder of Lloyd because he had talked to a group of
people that Hernandez 'had trouble with' at a Boston nightclub on Friday
night.
Dead Spin reports that prosecutors have a video showing Hernandez with a
handgun saying 'You can't trust anyone anymore' before making the trip
to pick up Lloyd. Read more: dailymail.co.uk
