UPDATE: Keith Luke Arraigned In Brockton Superior Court
ACCUSED KILLER KEITH LUKE IN BROCKTON COURT WITH SWASTIKA ON HIS FOREHEAD
By Maureen Boyle
GateHouse News Service
Handcuffed, shackled and with a swastika cut into his forehead, Keith Luke (original PYSIH story) stood before the judge and smirked as the clerk read the charges in Brockton Superior Court.
Two counts of murder. Four counts of aggravated rape. Armed kidnapping. Six counts of armed assault with intent to murder. Armed home invasion. A string of gun charges.
Luke, 22, of Brockton, made his first appearance in superior court Wednesday since a grand jury handed up indictments in what authorities have called a racially motivated attack that killed two people and critically wounded a third on Jan. 21.
Luke’s plea — innocent to all charges — came as no surprise. His appearance, however, stunned those in the courtroom.
The self-proclaimed white supremacist’s head had been shaved since he was arrested on Jan. 21 and appeared in district court the next day.
On Wednesday, he was nearly 60 pounds lighter. He was sporting a beard. And in the center of his forehead was the swastika, crafted with narrow slashes, Charles Manson-style. Luke carved the swastika into his forehead recently while at the Plymouth County jail, authorities said.
It was not known exactly how he was able to etch the swastika into his flesh, but Luke is given a disposable razor to use for 20 minutes, three times a week. The razor is collected by correction officers after each use, authorities said.
Manson, who carved a swastika into his forehead during his trial, is serving a life sentence in a California prison. He and four others were convicted of murder and other charges in connection with a two-night rampage in August 1969 that left pregnant actress Sharon Tate and seven others dead.
While awaiting trial here, Luke is in the Plymouth County lock-down unit reserved for inmates who need protection, are dangerous or require constant supervision.
In the special unit Luke occupies, the suspect is locked in his cell, 23 hours a day. He is shackled whenever he leaves his cell. A camera monitors him in the cell. A corrections officer checks on the prisoners every 30 minutes.
In the 10 minutes it took to read the indictments in Brockton Superior Court Wednesday, Luke alternately smirked at the judge and craned his neck to glare at the victims’ families. The victims’ families silently stared back at the suspect.
“My heart was pounding,” said Deolinda Monteiro, aunt of Selma Goncalves, who was fatally shot in the January attack. “It was my first time seeing him.” Plymouth County District Attorney Timothy J. Cruz said he was impressed with how the families reacted in court.
“I think the families showed a lot of control,” Cruz said. “I applaud their courage.” Before the arraignment, Selma’s father, Madueno Goncalves, said it was important to be in court. “I want justice,” he said. “I want to know what is going on.”
His cousin, Americo Fontes, said the family also closely follows the case in The Enterprise. “We want to know everything that happens.”
As the indictments were read in court Wednesday, Luke, in a gruff voice, answered “not guilty” to charges ranging from murder to kidnapping as he stood surrounded by court officers and Plymouth County sheriff’s department deputies.
He was ordered held without bail by Judge John P. Connor Jr. Another hearing is set for June 10. Luke is accused of gunning down two people on Jan. 21 — Selma Goncalves, 20, and Arlindo Goncalves, 72 — and with wounding a third person whom he is accused of raping — all of Cape Verdean descent.
Luke then led police on a chase through the city before crashing his van. He is also charged with shooting at pursuing officers.
Luke has been held without bail since his Jan. 21 arrest. The grand jury indictments moved the case to superior court for trial.
Authorities have said Luke told police after his arrest that the killings were part of a plan to kill all “non-whites” and he had planned to end the rampage by killing bingo players at a synagogue in the city.
Luke told authorities he had spent his days online, trolling white supremacist Web sites and commenting on the message boards. Some of the Web sites he visited and commented on degraded minorities in explicit terms.
On Wednesday, Luke was brought into the courthouse alone under heavy guard. After the arraignment, he was whisked into the courthouse lockup and down to a waiting van, where he was the only passenger, to return to the jail.
Luke grinned at a photographer and two videographers waiting on the sidewalk before he was hustled into the van.
It seems prison life has treated Keith Luke very well. As if Luke wasn’t already despicable enough, he’s Lost 60 pounds, shaved his head and grown a beard. Can you say Aryan Brotherhood? Looks like they, or some similar group has taken him under their wing, so to speak.
Well isn’t that special?

What state is Brockton in? Do they have the death penalty there?
This man is evil incarnate. I hope he spends he rest of his life in a maximum security prison, and that the next time he uses a razor to carve a swastika on his body, that Bubba gets hold of the razor and shoves it up his ass.
That’s Brockton, Massachusetts Kathy, and they do not have the Death Penalty.
That’s right, the Commie-wealth of Taxachusetts will use my tax dollars for everything except execution. Damn, I hate this place!
De-volve Patrick makes things worse by being a rapist advocate. He actually sent an imprisoned rapist a care package.
Google this and you’ll see why he sucks so bad…”Deval Patrick Not Sorry For Support of Convicted Rapist”
My vote is that Deval Patrick should go to hell, too!
Forget using it on his ass Kathy.. I hope he uses it on his throat.. There are some people that are just total wastes of flesh, and from the looks of this guy, he’s wasting A LOT.. It is quite a transformation from his original booking photo to this one.. I’m not surprised he’s lost so much weight though.. My sister’s fiance works for a company that serves food to prisoners here in MN.. I’ll tell you, it is a miserable sort of fare.. there are fights over not getting to have more than one packet of ketchup with their hamburger.. Basically, at least where my sister’s fiance works, you get one of every item offered for the meal (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) whether you like it or not.. lets say that they served turkey sandwiches (they don’t serve pork items because some of the inmates are muslim.. they serve a lot of turkey and chicken in that place) with cheese.. well, if they serve hamburgers later there won’t be any cheese because they already got to have cheese with their sandwiches.. Thats how it works.. I dont feel sorry for any of them.. Minnesota isn’t one of those states that just throws people in prison for fun.. people get away with a lot round these parts .. so anyone who ends up there deserves to be there..
Re: The Aryan Brotherhood. To paraphrase Grouch Marx, “I wouldn’t join any club that would have him as a member.”
lmao….good one ptg, very good.
-editor
He’s not making a very positive first impression
I had to double check…Mandi said it first and now it’s actuality…
MANDI-
“I am very familiar with the prison system in the U.S, and I know how MANY young White guys pretend to be White racists while incarcerated, just for the easier ride. Protection and status within the walls. Stupid.”
It seems to be working for him!
I had to check back when i saw this one, and makes sure it was related to that fat pig already mentioned here. Especially after seeing the carved swastika, I just about died laughing. I know his type, and it is sooooo pathetic.
ooowwww…my brain hurts trying to understand this supremacist crap! Does this fat-headed cockroach seriously think he’s better than other people??? You hear him pleading to the charges…”Duuhhhhh…not guiwty….duh”. I don’t find him scary, just pathetically ignorant! What a complete and utter disgrace to the human race! I hope that swastika on his butt-ugly mug transforms into a bullseye! Now THAT would be something to aim for!
he is one goofy looking mother fucker.
what a fucking douche bag!!!!!!! HANG’UM HIGH!!!
Since he has lost 60 pounds does that mean he is growing a soul?
I hope so because he TOTALLY needs to go to hell for all eternity!
Oh, look…he’s being REHABILITATED! So he shouldn’t be put to death, right? Riiiiiiiiiight…
He’s losing weight to look pretty for the other prisoners, that’s so sweet of him. He has a right purty mouf…
BTW where can I vote for “should go to hell”? ;)
Jennifer,
I think you have to go to the original story posted… That’s where you can vote for the bastard to go to hell…
Oh isn’t he dreamy? Seems to have fixed the bad acne. Or maybe the giant swastika carved in his forehead draws your eyes away from those trouble areas like intelligence? Once he gets to prison he is really going to make some new FRIENDS really quickly with that bold, permanent fashion statement. Why didn’t he just tattoo asshole on his forehead instead?
You’re right, blondie – then the boys in prison would have TWO places to penetrate him… ;)
The new facial hair makes his mouth look more like a vagina.
OH! You’re my new favorite blogger fyi
LoL…Thanks Michael. You’re right about the beard, and it suits him, since the big pussy murdered an unarmed woman and homeless old man.
Freaking pussy shot her in the freaking back. What a man. And yes, if Xyaeiounn can’t handle the comments on this site, he/she just needs to stay away.
Wow, the comments on this site are always full of vengeance and hate.
Don’t you pinheads see that he’s just being arraigned? CHARGED with a crime does not mean CONVICTED.
CONVICTED doesn’t always mean GUILTY either, the number of innocent poor people executed has been researched, you might want to look that up.
You go on about murdering and raping this man, how are you showing yourself to be any better, or even different? Is it just that you’re too gutless to do what he did, is that the only difference?
You sick fucks.
You are a fucking ASSHOLE, moron. Why don’t YOU go look up the original story? This is not a case of circumstantial evidence suggesting that this guy is the perp. He was caught RED HANDED. The only question of guilt v. innocence here is whether his lawyer can find him a legal defense to take the BLAME away from him, not whether he did it or not.
Believe it or not, all of us here are aware that convicted does not mean guilty. And, I know that I am one who will fight just as hard, and just as vigorously for a wrongfully accused or convicted person. Go look up Kevin and Riley Fox on Google – I screamed as loud about the injustice of that case as I do for punishing these PYSIH sick-freak-killers.
The only thing I will agree with you is about the wishes for rape and torture of the guilty. I personally will never condone that and I know that quite a few others agree. HOWEVER – it is a fact that these scumworms are likely to be targeted in prison based on their crimes, and people know that. So to suggest that maybe the goon who rapes them be particularly brutal? I personally will never suggest such a thing, but I don’t hold it against others who feel the need to vent.
There is a HUGE difference between initiating a violent act on an innocent person, and giving the perpetrator a “taste of their own medicine”. I think the bible calls it “an eye for an eye”, and I know there are a fair number of Christians on this site. That is a far fucking cry from being a vicarious criminal, or being too gutless to go and rape/rob/torture innocents. Historically this concept is known as “justice” not “vengeance”.
But YOU are still a stupid pea-brained idiot. You seem to have some reason for wanting to protect murdering, raping scumballs. Maybe it’s YOU who is secretly harboring some nasty ideas and are too gutless to follow through? If so, you better not move forward, because the majority of society agrees with US – and they may well make up the big part of your jury.
Now, go run along. If you don’t like the site, don’t bother to hang around. No one cares. Seriously.
Well said, Mazzi….I say “ditto”!
What do people expect to read when they enter a site named “People You’ll See in Hell”? Do they think they’re entering a site where praise will be given to evil people who torture, rape, and murder innocent people? DUH.
I have to say that in the case of pedophiles, I do always hope that they get a taste of their own medicine while in prison. I have no sympathy at all for people who hurt children!
Oh shit, another coward racist white supremacist shithead. Dude, read the story – He BRAGGED to the cops about what he did. He was proud of it. What a guy eh? He’s proud of raping and murdering a defenseless woman, shooting her unarmed sister and killing a homeless old man who never bothered anyone. Yeah, that takes a whole lot of courage. And he was caught in the act by police after a running gun battle during which he tried to kill them. Of course, if you had like, maybe, READ THE STORY, you’d know all this and you might not be coming across as such a fool right now. But yeah, we’re picking on poor, innocent Keith Luke.
What you are is just another jackasses who thinks that just because YOU say something that makes it true. It’s a common trait of all racists, conspiracy theorists and white supremacists. I mean, how else could they come up with some of the crazy nonsensical shit that they believe. Well good luck with that numbnuts.
There are many other web sites for you to go to, esp if ou do not like it here. It’s not like we can do much, except to inform people on what is going on and have some fun with it. If you don’t like it here, please go
xnxx.com and fuck yourself.
If you do not like what is said in this site go elsewhere.
We do not decide fates, but we inform people and have some fun doing it as well.
So, goto xnxx.com and fuck yourself!
Um, excuse me asshole. What do you mean “too gutless to do what he did”??? What the hell are you talking about fucktard? Luke is a pussy fag. He raped a woman and murdered people in cold blood. If he hates minorities so much, why would he have raped a latina?
Oh thats right, because he is full of shit, just like you are. If you dont like what you see here, go elsewhere. Like Mazzi said, no one cares, really. You wont be missed.
Goofball.
Adolph Hitler did not allow the Aryans to rape mud people, not to say that the Nazi did not do their share, BUT anyone who really admires Hitler would not “lower” themselves in such a manner.
So this POS is not a true Nazi…..
Hey Keith – a real Aryan man could attract and take care of a real Aryan woman……
Lucky for you you are in MA where the politicians care more about POS like you than our returning veterans.
xyaeiounn or whatever –
You’re call us sick fucks? OMG! You are absolutely retarded!!! XY – HE HAS A SWASHITKA ON HIS FORHEAD!!!! Or maybe that’s your thing too, heh? Is there something wrong with you?
We come here to read about what wrongs there are in the world. To see what kind of people our children could possibly intermingle with. We learn things here. We vent here. This is the best site I have found where I can find the real life issues that are out there. All the media does is cover up the gory details. The gory details are the things I NEED to know.
Please don’t come here and criticize our frustration and anger with these sick, awful evil wastes of human beings. This is where we vent.
Like everyone else has said – if you don’t like it here leave, cuz all you’re going to do is piss people off.
What that idiot doesn’t know is that the swastika on his forehead is a Native American symbol for peace.
People like that make me sick.
Also an Irish sign of goodwill. A lot of cultures used that symbol, the Nazis were pretty clever in choosing that one to pervert.
Here in B’ham, there’s Irish/Celtic style swastikas carved in the courthouse building. No lie-they’ve been there for decades. They’re proper swastikas, not the ones set on their corner that the Nazis used. But it’s still kind of a mindfuck to go to the courthouse and see those things, even knowing the history.
It’s also a Sanskrit word older than the birth of Christ–it was used in the Neolithic period as well. I find it hilarious that modern Aryans are actually the dark skinned Persians in Iran, Afghanistan, Turkey, India and Pakistan, not the pasty, Prussian Blue loving wannabes who carve a word they don’t even understand into their forehead.
For all intents and purposes, the Sanskrit translation of svastika, means good luck and/or health.
I wish neither of these for such a gross rapist.
My mother worked in a school built in the late 19teens or early 19tewnties and it had swastikas tiled in the floor.
It’s a shame that Manson and his family are still alive. One of the females is dying of cancer and she is asking to be released and live her last days on Earth as a free person. Sharon Tate and her baby do not have that luxury or choice, so neither should she.
This guy should’ve used that razor for something more productive and saved the system a dime
jester,
every comment I read from you makes me laugh or smile… I LOVE YOU!
You need a laugh if you liked that movie. Man, talk about a tear jerker!
It’s this site – it allows us to purge our cynicism. Thank GOD!
Sorry if the same reply has been posted a few times, it seems that
a. reply is not working
b. my work computer sucks
c. maybe some filter does not like what I said
anyway xyaeiounn we are not judges, juries, etc… what we are is a bunch of people who inform each other and share our opinions.
If you do not like this siite goto
xnxx(dot)com and take care of yourself there.
Are there problems with the system???
Wow, he scares me. What an evil man he is. He is still fat, ugly, and what is up with his ear. Did buba bite too hard?
yeah, i was gonna say, prison isn’t gonna scare this guy. he’ll be protected by the brotherhood and probably hailed as a hero for killing 2 hispanics. its disgusting really.. but this guy is going to live like a king and its not right… isnt there somewhere we can put people like this? like gitmo? i hear they got some free space..
Cape Verdeans consider themselves African, not hispanic…
“If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge?” (William Shakespeare) When are people going to realize and accept that we are all human beings? This world is so full of hate that it is simply amazing that we do not implode. This sad excuse for a human being hates everyone but himself. And he isn’t exactly going to win any popularity or beauty contests in prison. He uses hate and racism to try and validate his actions. It’s sickening.
Oh, and is it just me or does the dude have a pointed head?
He definitely has what looks like a beanie button up there. It’s probably from where he was dropped on his head as a kid.
He kind of reminds me of that pathtic fat dude from American History X who sings “the white man marches on”. Google for a laugh. Except Keith Luke is a bigger pile of shit. And he does have a pointy ass conehead, Beldar the fat racist murdering bastard.
I so wanted to slap his ugly fat mouth everytime he smiled and smirked while pleading “not guilty” a million times to crimes which he obviously committed. If he was such a proud racist, wouldnt he admit it, logically?
I hate to admit it Poptart, I mean really HATE to admit it, but I grew up with an area full of assholes like this. Klan members, Aryans, the whole kit-n-kaboodle. Cross burnings were not an infrequent event. And if I learned anything outside of the fact that these individuals are some of the biggest cowards out there, is that when they are caught they almost never plead guilty. They will stand there with a hood over their face beating another man for a racial infraction on Saturday night but come Sunday morning, they are front and center at church. If caught, they always proclaimed their innocence. By the time I graduated from high school, I had been called everything from a “n” lover (will NEVER say that word) to a communist because I stood up for my friends and refused t participate in the hate. I’d like to think that this POS will get his in prison, but the sad truth is that he is a member of a very popular club and will more than likely will be protected.
all I can say is his parents must be so proud …… raising a fine son like that.
Trying to be Charles Manson with the swastika on the forehead.
It is a sad day that we are losing such a fine, upstanding member of our community (Sarcasm!!) Seriously, people like this need to be put away because the hate they spew is sickening. People that spew racist beliefs and ideas really need to get their head out of the clouds and take a good look in the mirror at their own limitations and insecurities. This guy’s parents must be so proud that their son has tried to carve such fine “art” on his forehead. That is so nasty looking. This guy doesn’t even need our votes to help send him to hell because I’m sure that he’s earned a one-way ticket to help all by himself.
I’m going to play with his titties
Oh shit, that’s funny man…lmao! I bet he has nice perky ones too.
Go look at the original pic, Max. There is no way they are perky. The are probably like old granny-boobies. Now that his prison diet has made him less porcine, I am sure he now sags to the point that his nipples peek out under the bottom of his TShirt. (Maybe that’s why they keep him in the orange jumpsuit?)
bleh. they probably look like a couple slices of old wet spoiled bologna.
The wierd shaped head? The pubescent beard? It all makes sense. Damn, I know a lot of people said he was a dick, but fuck if I can’t look at him and not laugh now.
For people like this I think there should be a special council that has a few hundred members on it, people from every walk of life, every different color, creed, religion, socio-economic status, men, women, and they should vote on if this person is worth inhabiting our earth and taking up our resources and our air. If that diverse a group of people can come to a consensus on something I think it would be as fair as humanly possible. And as so many have said before, there are some people that are just so far beyond rehabilitation there is no other course of action other than just killing them.
To complete my condemnation of Deval Patrick–> Bernard Sigh was convicted in 1993 in San Diego of raping his wife, Rhonda, who is Patrick’s sister.
Gov. Patrick said he was “unaware” that his brother-in-law had to register as a sex offender.
Sorry, guys, but anything Massachusetts pisses me off.
Why is that (just curious, as an MA native)? I was born in Brockton and am so disgusted by this douchebag.
I was born in the City of Worcester. I’ve been trying to get a Class A License to Carry for two years now, and the chief of police in my town refuses to give it to me on the grounds that he believes that I am mentally unstable, whereas the United States Navy will happily issue me any firearm I want and let me carry it around loaded, and unsupervised. They give me, a law-abiding citizen, a hard time for something that happened SIX years ago. That’s why anything Massachusetts pisses me off. They give decent people just as hard a time as they give hardened criminals.
