I have obtained surveillance video allegedly showing Liam Harrison Kryger swinging an axe and crushing the skull of a homeless man sleeping in front of Town Hall Seattle last month. Cops may have stopped a serial killer after Kryger was recently arrested.

Kryger is now facing a 1st Degree Murder charge in the death of 52-year-old Daravuth Van, an Asian American homeless man who was sleeping at the time. The motive remains unclear. Here is the press conference. Chilling details. Incredible work by police. Huge break.

Kryger is now being held on $5 mil bail until his next court hearing later this month. Meanwhile, he has a criminal history and struggles with mental illness. It appears his family has been victims of his outbursts and violent behavior as well.

Kryger was not homeless at the time. He lived in a nearby apartment building.
