Officials say Pennsauken woman was beaten at garage
Felicia Mikels, the teenage mother from Pennsauken who was killed last weekend, was savagely beaten at a garage where her uncle stored equipment for his cleaning business, prosecutors said yesterday. Mikels, 17, had been shopping at the Cherry Hill Mall before she was lured by text messages to a late-night meeting with that uncle, Christopher Mikels, and his buddy Douglas Mandichak. The new details of Felicia Mikels' slaying were presented at an arraignment yesterday in state Superior Court, in Camden County, where Mikels, 26, and Mandichak, 25, were charged with murder. Investigators continued to comb the Pennsauken Creek in Cinnaminson yesterday for Felicia Mikels' body. State troopers up to their shoulders in the frigid waters used axes to punch through the ice as police dogs sniffed for traces of the woman along the water's edge.
