A 31-year-old man accused of murdering a man he just met in a club says he was defending himself when he a beat the man to death with a hammer inside his Englewood apartment, Cook County prosecutors said in court Tuesday.
Police were called for a wellbeing check early Sunday when a resident of an apartment building in the 7100 block of South Lowe Avenue noticed a blood trail in a hallway that led to the rear of the building, prosecutors said.
