A 52-year-old woman was found murdered and concealed in a duffel bag in her late mother’s Manhattan apartment, following a violent confrontation with squatters, NYPD officials reported on Thursday.
Nadia Vitel, the victim, had recently traveled from Spain and was preparing her mother’s vacant 19th-floor apartment on East 31st Street for a family friend to move into. Upon her arrival, she encountered two unauthorized occupants, a man, and a woman in their 20s, according to New York Post.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny informed the press, “We believe that some squatters took the apartment over and this woman came home … and walked in on the squatters that were there.”
A violent struggle ensued, during which Vitel was reportedly thrown against a sheetrock wall, according to ABC News. The assault left her with fatal injuries, including blunt force trauma to the head, multiple facial fractures, a brain hemorrhage, and two broken ribs.
Following the assault, the suspects absconded with Vitel’s Lexus, eventually crashing it near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.
The NYPD was delayed in linking the car to the crime due to initial investigative oversights by Pennsylvania police.
The fugitives were last seen attempting to purchase a new vehicle from car dealerships for $1,000, but their current whereabouts remain unknown.
“As of right now, we have probable cause, we have two subjects, we have the Regional Fugitive Task Force actively hunting as we speak,” Kenny said.
New York Post reported:
The developments come after Vitel’s son, Michael Medvedev, 19, made the grim discovery of his mother’s body when he went to the apartment with the building’s super on the afternoon of March 14 after not hearing from her in 48 hours.
He knew she’d been at the apartment because they tracked each other’s locations via their cellphones, police said.
“As they’re getting ready to leave, the son opens up the closet door near the front door and discovers the duffel bag with a foot sticking out,” Kenny said.
It wasn’t immediately clear how long the perps had been squatting in the apartment before the victim found them inside, or how they even managed to gain access in the first place.
“The apartment itself is very unique in that there’s no front door to apartment. You take an elevator up and then you key your way in. The elevator is actually your front door,” Kenny said, adding “it’s an upscale apartment.”
More blood on Biden’s hands.
So this poor woman was beaten to death. How about a description of the couple who did this.
Well, at least we can eliminate all heterosexual Republican Christian White U.S. citizens as suspects.
How did those squatters find out that apartment was empty?
How did they gain access?
Who gave them the key?
“Give me your tried, your convicted,
Your huddled murderers yearning to crime spree...”
FRiends, prepare to fight or lose everything you thought you have.
shoulda sent that statue back on the same boat it came in on ...
Awesome!
“...The WRETCHED REFUSE of your teeming shore.”
They probably followed her in and beat her to death in the elevator...................
But but Trump is a racist fascist Nazi.
In the old west, they would just need a bunch of guys with torches following a tracker. Daybreak finds the culprit swinging from a rope. Today the police would arrest the posse before they got going.
A quote off a piece of art does not policy make.
aha! we’re getting somewhere with naming the perps as “squatters”! Time to listen for all the sleeping drones!
Nothing could be further from the truth. Trump has always been for immigration. In fact, he married an immigrant.
When immigrants are screened and come here legally, they are very welcome here.
What we are against is having an open border where they stream across in hordes and are granted privileges and access to entitlement that many citizens do not qualify for.
What we are especially against is other countries literally emptying their prisons and sending their very worst over here to terrorize and commit crimes against our citizens.
So yes, the Statue of Liberty and the message about sending us people "yearning to be free" should be celebrated. We want people that will contribute to our society, come here legally, and become legal citizens the correct way.
Sad story.
Keep voting Democrat.
And Adams, Hochul
Biden finds apartment for new comers a start for something new in the democrat democracy plan.
***How about a description of the couple who did this.***
So many modern descriptions of the perps. “Bipedal creatures seen at the scene of the crime. Anyone sees these report them to the police!”
