A child actor who was an extra on the hit action show Might Morphin' Power Rangers is accused of the brutal murder of a California couple.

The Power Rangers. A former Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers extra and his wife are facing charges of murder in the case of a California couple who were tied to the anchor of their 55-foot luxury yacht and then thrown overboard. Skylar Deleon, 26, who appeared on one episode of the popular kids' show, and his wife Jennifer, 24, are being ordered to stand trial for the murders of Thomas and Jackie Hawks. The Deleons were allegedly attempting to steal the Hawks' yacht.

The Deleons are accused of posing as interested buyers of the boat and luring the elderly couple out to sea by asking to test-drive the boat in open water. The Deleons are alleged to have stunned the Hawks using a Taser gun, before handcuffing them and blindfolding them. Next, the Deleons allegedly tied the Hawks to the anchor of the boat, which weighed more than 60 pounds. After forcing the Hawks to sign over power of attorney, the assailants threw them overboard.

An accomplice of the Deleons alerted police to the crime, claiming that the Deleons planned the killing in advance. The accomplice said that Mr. Deleon had to delay the murder after he discovered that Thomas Hawk was a retired corrections officer, and therefore might be more difficult to kill. All of the defendants in the case have pleaded not guilty.

The Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers was a hit live-action adventure show featuring a team of teens who transformed into superheroes and fought giant monsters.

So he was an extra, i don't see what's so important about that. It's still a very brutal way to kill anybody, especially an elderly couple. They couldn't just kill them quickly on board and then tie them to the anchor?

That would mess up the yacht, duh!

I guess the Power Rangers gig didn't pay enough, huh? It's always weird when a couple does the crime, you'd think that one of the two would have a bit more common sense...

Nice find, Kevin, but like you said, not too funny being a murder and all... lol

I loved that show as a kid. It pains me to see that someone would go out of his way to publish(sp?) a artical called "Mighty Murderin' Power Ranger" for some idiot that most likey was on the show for less then 5 minutes.

No, I know which guy it is, he wasnt a main character, but he wasnt just a guy who walked in the backround for one sence either, he had a small part in the show.
