As NEastPhilly.com previously reported, Christopher Russell was arrested in late March in connection with attacks on elderly women in Lawndale and Lawncrest.

Now, police say Russell is suspected of committing more crimes – some violent. The 33-year-old is also a suspect in 24 other crimes, including two murders and 20 home invasions, which Northeast Detectives are looking into. Russell had 23 prior arrests when police picked him up last month.
