A woman has been charged with murder and robbery in the death of a man in the Hilton Garden Inn in Midtown, authorities said Wednesday.
Christine O’Brien let four men and a woman into the room of Roderick Goodwin, 28, at the hotel on W. 25th St. early Monday, Assistant District Attorney Ali Russell said at the woman’s arraignment Wednesday night.
Russell said the group then viciously beat Goodwin in a bid to steal his hotel safe. Goodwin was found with severe head trauma beneath a mattress and died at Bellevue Hospital.
The accomplices were still at large early Thursday.

Sounds like a minor variation on the old badger game.
Doesn’t look like she’ll be walking away from this one.
Police apparently believe the victim was a pimp known for carrying large amounts of cash. Apparently the conspiracy was to rob him. Also, it appears he beat some of the prostitutes. /Captain Obvious
[”He beat her up because she had his money in her pocketbook,” she added, referring to the alleged assault on the woman. “He wanted his money back. She went to the police and tried to say that he stole her money, but it was his money.”]
Ah. He was an entrepreneur and she was an employee.
OK
But that area of law isn’t called Master/Servant anymore.
It was the second time the same prostitute beat him? I don’t think Mr. Goodwin was very good at the pimp business. Maybe he should have gone into a different line of work.
She looks like she is about to fall over to her left.
Well, he won’t be making a third mistake with her, it appears.
She’s left-leaning!!
I’ll bet you anything drug trafficking is the reason here.
He didn’t keep his pimp hand strong.
He was an independent contractor!
Maid-to-Order. It’s a pun!
Will that be "tuck" or "no tuck"?
How much do you tip a chamber-murder maid?
It’s my best suit!
Was she selling Hot Dogs for $30 behind his back?
Looks like Mr. Goodwin will be trying his hand at worm farming. I wish him luck.
