SMH: Man Slits Woman's Throat & Sets Body On Fire, Tries To Kill Himself
This guy isn't s**t...
A New York man brutally killed a woman in an apartment building and left a trail of blood and destruction hundreds of feet long before he set her body on fire.
There is a man in custody who's family insists he had nothing to do with the crime and was dealing with a different situation.
This is just confusing...
A 250-foot trail of gore led police from the torched body of a woman stuffed inside a garbage bag early Tuesday to the suicidal man who set her aflame, officials said.
The man tried to slash his wrist and slit his throat shortly after dragging the victim’s body from a Harlem building on Park Ave. to one around the corner on E. 105th St.
“We have blood in the hallway, in the lobby and in the elevators,” said NYPD Deputy Chief Christopher McCormack. “We have a blood trail that led us across the street.”
Family members identified the man as Nathan Quinones, 27, but insisted that he had nothing to do with the horrific killing and burning of the corpse.
“He did nothing wrong,” insisted his sister Jacqueline Thomas. “This was not him and I’m going to get to the bottom of this. He’s my baby brother. He would never, ever do something like this.”
One resident of the Clinton Houses on 105th St. watched in stunned disbelief as the elevator doors opened on the ninth floor around 6:50 a.m. — and a man lugged a plastic bag off the elevators and into a stairwell.
“When I came out to throw out the garbage, he came out of the elevator,” said ninth-floor resident Victor Ortiz. “... Then he put some fire on the person in the plastic bag.”
The man, dressed in a dark coat and hoodie, uttered two words when he realized someone was watching: “Oh s---.”
The man trying to kill himself was on the 12th floor of the building there when police arrived.
“They gave him aid, they saved him, pulled him over to Harlem Hospital,” said the deputy chief. The man was expected to survive.
A police source said the relationship between the pair was unclear at this point, and the victim was not yet identified.
But the man’s suicide attempt was tied to “a domestic situation with his girlfriend,” said Thomas. “That’s not her (who died), she’s fine.” -(NY Dailty News)
