 Humboldt County Coroner Dave Parris said Monday that investigators don't want to release more details of how the Rev. Eric Freed was beaten, pending further investigation. 
  
 But at his arraignment, Gary Lee Bullock, 44, of Humboldt County, was charged with murder with a special allegation of torture. He is also charged with burglary, arson and auto theft. 
  
 Bullock pleaded not guilty and bail was set at $1.2 million, according to court records. 
  
 "I don't think we have a clear motive we are willing to speak about at this point," said Police Chief Andrew Mills. "There was significant evidence at the scene to suggest he tried to set the house on fire." 
  
 Meanwhile, a funeral Mass was held Monday for Freed at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Eureka. Parishioner Lynn Enemark said more than 1,000 people filled the church to overflowing. Bishop Robert F. Vasa officiated, and priests from around California attended. 
  
 Authorities have said Bullock was released from jail on a disorderly conduct charge several hours before Freed was killed in the rectory at St. Bernard Catholic Church. The jail is near the church. 
  
 Mills said Bullock was visible on surveillance video from outside the church and rectory, and the attacker got inside the rectory by breaking a side window. 
  
 The slaying occurred in the early morning hours of Jan. 1, Parris said. A more precise time of death must await further analysis of the evidence. 
  
 A passing security guard saw Bullock on church grounds at about 2 a.m. New Year's Day and called police. An officer confronted Bullock in front of the rectory, checked his jail papers, did a field sobriety test, and determined he was mentally competent to be in public, then directed him to a shelter several blocks away, police have said. 
  
 The security guard, who does not work for the church, saw Bullock again at about 3:30 a.m. and told him again to be on his way but did not call police again. 
  
 Freed's body was discovered when he didn't show up to say Mass the morning of New Year's Day. 
  
 Bullock was arrested Thursday by sheriff's deputies outside Garberville. Deputies said his stepfather was driving him to Garberville to turn himself in. ||||| EUREKA - One by one, hundreds approached Rev. Eric Freed's open casket to say their final good-byes. 
  
 White candles and poinsettias lined the alter in each of the three vigils that took place at St. Bernard Catholic Church on Sunday. 
  
 Freed was a man that meant so many things to so many people. He touched the lives of his parishioners at St. Bernard, his students and colleagues at Humboldt State University and an entire community. 
  
 For Eureka resident Willa Grant, Freed was helping her become Catholic. As a Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) member, Freed taught Grant how to believe again. 
  
 "He renewed my faith in faith," Grant said. "He was very joyous in his faith. He never did the Mass like someone reading a shopping list." 
  
 Grant said Freed was never judgmental and helped make her everyday life better by letting go of anger - a lesson Freed preached about. 
  
 She also said Freed spoke a lot about breaking the divisions between people and religions. 
  
 "I felt that Father Eric not only welcomed my faith," Grant said. "But he welcomed my doubts. And that's big." 
  
 Many of the lives Freed touched were the students and his cohorts at HSU. 
  
 Sara Hart, taught with Freed for the last six years and spoke at the 4 p.m. vigil that included many of his students. 
  
 Hart said Freed was a great friend to her and her family and that he had impact on countless lives. 
  
 "He was one of those very rare people who has really learned to have the faith of a mustard seed," Hart said. "And the impact of that is going to be with us for a long time." 
  
 Bishop Robert Vasa of the Diocese of Santa Rosa, spoke at the 7:30 p.m. vigil. 
  
 Although Vasa did not assign Freed to St. Bernard's he got to know Freed when he visited Eureka. 
  
 Vasa recalled a time the two of them went to dinner and said that Freed's energy was obvious, immediately. 
  
 "He was so enamored with the Japanese culture and calligraphy. He couldn't help but turn over the place mat and say, 'Well this means this and this means this,'" Vasa said. "I can see how the Humboldt State students and the parishioners would just be affected in the best possible way by the contagious joy and enthusiasm for the Gospel." 
  
 Freed was indeed enamored with the Japanese culture. 
  
 Dance Farrell, who knew Freed for eight years, said he would write his homilies in Japanese. 
  
 Freed's stole, which was draped over his casket, also contained embroidered Japanese characters. 
  
 At the 7:30 p.m. vigil, the Knights of Columbus - who traveled from numerous areas including local chapters, Fort Brag and Sacramento - made Freed an honorary fourth degree member. 
  
 In Freed's absence, Vasa said that Rev. Loren Allen will be returning to St. Bernard's beginning next weekend's Masses. 
  
 Freed was Allen's assistant and they worked with each other for three years. 
  
 "I wanted someone to come back who knew the place and the people," Vasa said. "(Allen) can focus his energies on the people and work to help them move forward in a very difficult grief process. (The grief process) doesn't get completed today. It starts today." 
  
 Freed's burial will be held today at 11:30 a.m. at Sacred Heart Church in Eureka. A reception at St. Bernard Church will follow the burial services at St. Bernard's Cemetery.

[EX Q]: MEL B is looking forward to Christmas thanks to the "amazing trip" the former Spice Girl is planning to Rwanda. 
  
 The singer, whose real name is Melanie Brown, is friends with Ivan and Ange, the adult children of Rwanda's 56-year-old president Paul Kagame. He has invited her and her three children to spend Christmas at his palace in East Africa. 
  
 But the Daily Mirror 'playing the role of the Grinch in Mel B's African Christmas fairytale' says there's a problem. Kagame "could face a war crimes trial" for allegedly arming Congo rebel group M23 which is said to have forced 140,000 people from their homes. 
  
 A "damning" report released by the UN last year suggested Kagame had supported the insurgents to the hilt. The document, which was leaked last October, said the Congolese rebels were receiving "direct military orders" from Rwanda's army chief and Kagame's defence minister. 
  
 Stephen Rapp, the head of the US war crimes office, has warned that Kagame "could be prosecuted for helping the insurgents carry out atrocities". 
  
 The Daily Telegraph says that Kagame has many friends in the West, but he divides opinion. He is widely considered to be "the most dynamic and effective leader in Africa today, and also ruthless, repressive and intolerant of criticism". 
  
 Kagame has strongly denied the allegation he aided M23 saying: "We are not supplying even one bullet. We have not and we will not". 
  
 It's unlikely that Mel B and her three children will be discussing any of these allegations over the Christmas turkey. She took to Twitter to express her excitement at her African adventure. 
  
 "Christmas is different every year," she wrote. "Last year we were in Australia and it was lovely but this year we've decided to go to Rwanda. We've got this amazing trip planned and we're staying with the president, Paul Kagame." 
  
 She added: "I know his son and daughter because they live in New York and they're adorable people. They invited us out there. "We will probably have our own Christmas in LA with stockings, presents and a big roast dinner, then we shall go off to spend time with the president." 
  
 Blogger FleetStreetFox said Mel B's Christmas plans were the latest example of unwitting celebrities getting mixed up in politics. 
  
 Supermodel Naomi Campbell caused a storm when she revealed that Liberian dictator Charles Taylor had given her diamonds and Mariah Carey was widely criticised for singing for Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, a son of the late Libyan dictator. · ||||| Get celebs updates directly to your inbox + Subscribe Thank you for subscribing!

 Mel B will spend Christmas with an African leader accused of political oppression and aiding genocide. 
  
 The former Spice Girl has been invited to stay with Rwandan president Paul Kagame, who could face a war crimes trial for allegedly arming Congo rebel group M23 – said to have forced 140,000 people to flee their homes. 
  
 Scary Spice Mel is friends with the 56-year-old’s grown up children Ivan and Ange, who asked her to their family palace in East Africa. 
  
 The mum-of-three said: “Christmas is different every year. Last year we were in Australia and it was lovely but this year we’ve decided to go to Rwanda. We’ve got this amazing trip planned and we’re staying with the ­president, Paul Kagame. 
  
 “I know his son and daughter because they live in New York and they’re adorable people. They invited us out there. 
  
 “We will probably have our own Christmas in LA with ­stockings, presents and a big roast dinner, then we shall go off to spend time with the president. 
  
 “I said to the kids do you want to go to Africa and see lions, tigers and bears, or stay at home and watch TV all day? It was a no brainer.” 
  
 Kagame has been praised for ­overhauling Rwanda’s economy, healthcare and ­education system since he became president in 2000.

 He previously commanded the rebel force which ended the country’s 1994 genocide. 
  
 But a damning UN report last year suggested the Rwandan military had supported M23. 
  
 Head of US war crimes office, Stephen Rapp, has warned Kagame could be prosecuted for helping the insurgents carry out atrocities.

The latest celebrity to party with a "bad guy"? Scary Spice. Melanie Brown, the Spice Girl also known as "Mel B," is spending Christmas with Rwandan President Paul Kagame and his family, the Mirror reports. It seems Brown is friends with Kagame's grown kids, who invited her to the family palace. "They're adorable people," Brown says of his son and daughter. "I said to the kids, 'Do you want to go to Africa and see lions, tigers, and bears, or stay at home and watch TV all day?' It was a no-brainer." Many wouldn't attach the word "adorable" to Kagame, who took office in 2000 and led the rebel force that ended the 1994 genocide in his country: He could now face a war crimes trial for allegedly arming M23, an insurgent group in the Congo accused of atrocities there. He's been called "ruthless" and "repressive" on the one hand, but the continent's "most dynamic and effective leader" on the other, and he has quite a few friends in the West, The Week reports.
