24 y/o Whacko, Randy Herman from Florida brutally stabbed his 21 y/o roommate, Brooke Preston to death just after she HUGGED him to say goodbye and was leaving to move in with her boyfriend!!

She came to the house to say farewell before he gave her a shirt as a parting gift with a T-shirt honouring their mutual friend and hugged each other goodbye...before he went on a crazed attack and stabbed her in the THROAT, abdomen and back...

Brooke came to say goodbye because she was moving back to Pennsylvania where she was going to start her career in journalism..

Randy is now charged with 1st degree murder

Both of them lived as roommates in a home at West Palm Beach as there was no evidence their relationship was more than that. She moved out of the home and planned to move back to Pennysylvania with her boyfriend and went to visit him to say goodbye.

The meeting was "cordial" as the 2 embraced but suddenly Randy snapped and took out his hunting knife and killed Brooke.

Brooke also had defensive wounds to her hand as she tried to fight back..

After the murder, Randy drove to a Park and phoned 911 to say someone was murdered and said it was him and he was sorry..

A friend visited Randy before the day of the murder and said he left because he was acting weird and drunk and she didn't feel comfortable spending the night at his house..

Randy also texted his mother to say he loved her as he knew he was going to prison and CRIED during questioning

Randy's 53 y/o father, Randy Sr was also accused of MURDER in 2015 of his 50 y/o girlfriend, Gail Monahan..2 months later he was found dead in a truck as police closed in on him in Alabama
