The disregard for life continues in Louisville with the city recording three homicides in a 24 hour period, bringing the total to 50 homicides this year.

A man died last night after his throat was cut at a western Louisville boarding house. 2nd division Officers were called around ten o'clock to a two-story house on Algonquin Parkway, just west of Dixie Highway. They discovered a man who appeared to be in his 40s, whose throat had been cut by what was thought to be a knife.

At 4:24 this morning a 26-year-old man was found shot to death at Clay and Raceland.
