Scott Brian White told radio talk-show host Mike Webb he was going out for a cigarette in the early morning hours of April 14. Instead, he told police, he reached under the bed the two shared, grabbed a double-edged ax he had stored there earlier and bludgeoned to death the man who had given him shelter.

White, 28, was charged Friday with first-degree murder in Webb's death and is being held on $1 million bail.

The slaying, which is described in court documents released Friday, ended what appeared to be a relationship that started when Webb invited the young man to share his home. White was a drifter who had lived on the street for years and had a history of drug use, according to his father.

Webb, 52, met White in November 2006, and shortly after that, White moved into the home that Webb had rented for 14 years in a pleasant residential neighborhood on Queen Anne, he told police.

Well, This article explains what happened to the computers in apparently Mr. White pawned them. Thus ends the life of someone living a long, interesting saga. Webb's life would make a good movie.
