RALEIGH, N.C. — The man charged with killing a print shop employee at a North Carolina community college says he’s a neo-Nazi who hates gay people.
Kenneth Morgan Stancil III told Raleigh’s WRAL-TV he killed Ron Lane earlier this week because Lane had made sexual advances to Stancil’s 16-year-old brother. Lane’s cousin, Steven Smith, told the TV station that Lane never made sexual advances toward children or anyone he worked with.
In a telephone interview from a Daytona Beach, Fla., jail, Stancil said Lane tried to take advantage of his brother.
‘‘He ain’t physically touched him, but he was in the proposal to try to and I wasn’t going to let that happen,’’ Stancil said.
Stancil said he is a neo-Nazi who is concerned about the future of white children.
He was asked if he hates gays. ‘‘Yes, I do, with a passion,’’ he replied, though he said that was only one of the reasons he killed Lane, who had been his supervisor in a work-study program at the college before he was fired for absenteeism.
Lane was shy, loving, energetic, and dedicated to his family and friends, Smith said.
‘‘Yes, Ron was gay. But people need to get over it,’’ Smith said.
