Sitting in a Canadian jail, accused of killing the Sammamish man who reportedly took him in when he was homeless, Kevin D. Patterson proclaimed his innocence to his former lawyer on Thursday...
Patterson, 20, was identified as a person of interest in the slaying of Rich Bergesen, 57, not long after the older mans body was found in his Sammamish home.
A law-enforcement source close to the investigation said it appears Bergesen was beaten to death with a camping shovel. The source said the shovel was found near the body of the slain man.

Officers arrested Kevin Patterson in a hotel in Abbotsford, British Columbia, nearly 12 hours after they found a body in the Sammamish home where neighbors said he had been living. Abbotsford police said they also arrested an 18-year-old man who was at the hotel with Patterson. Sammamish police believe the 18-year-old was present at the time of the slaying, but do not know if he participated in the killing...
While on the run, Patterson was driving a BMW deputies said was missing from the home. Neighbors said the vehicle was Bergesens... Abbotsford police spokesman Ian MacDonald said there was evidence of fraudulent credit card use, and if they are found to have crossed into Canada illegally, they would face those charges as well.
