Philly pipe-attack suspect seen on video with pipes day before deadly beating, police say

The suspect accused of beating a woman to death with a metal pipe at a Philadelphia office building Wednesday afternoon was allegedly captured on video the previous night with what appeared to be two pipes in his hand, according to a report. 

A former landlord identified Stepien from the footage and said he used to live at the apartment years ago, according to the station. 

Less than 24 hours after the video was recorded, Stepien was accused of beating to death Samantha Maag, 31, in front of horrified witnesses on the eighth floor of the Regus building in Philadelphia's Old City neighborhood just after 2 p.m., police said.
