The mother of a man who cops believed tortured and killed his 21-year-old girlfriend — leaving her to die on a Bronx staircase — has been arrested after investigators determined she helped clean up the gruesome crime scene, officials said.
Naida Jorge, 54, was charged Thursday evening with murder, manslaughter, hindering prosecution, concealment of a human corpse and tampering with physical evidence over the tragic slaying of Princesa Encarnacion-Soto.
“She did attempt to clean up the crime scene,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny told reporters.
Police were still looking for Robert Strother, 27, the dead woman’s boyfriend, in connection to the murder, cops said.
The victim, who was barely breathing when officers found her bruised body Tuesday, had been tied up and subjected to sadistic torture inside a Fordham Heights apartment before being dumped on the stairs.
“There was no blood on her while she laid on the staircase, and she was in fresh clothing that had no blood on her. So [there is a] possibility that someone cleaned the body, put fresh clothes on her and threw it on her by the staircase,” Kenny said Thursday.
Cops responding to a 911 call, who discovered Encarnacion-Soto, followed a trail of blood that led into the Grand Concourse apartment where Strother is believed to have allegedly tormented the young woman.
“The wounds themselves were inflicted for pain, not to kill,” Kenny said.
