A Haitian migrant is accused of fatally stabbing his two roommates, also from Haiti, in and around their apartment complex prior to a federal deportation hearing, the New York Post reports.
Kenol Baptiste, 30, was charged with second-degree murder and first-degree manslaughter, both of which are felonies, as well as misdemeanor criminal possession of a weapon. Police responded to a stabbing report at a Middletown apartment complex on Monday (April 1) and found one man dead inside a unit and another suffering serious injuries while lying outside on a sidewalk, the Times-Herald Record reported.
The second victim eventually succumbed to the injuries while undergoing surgery at Garnet Health Medical Center. Baptiste was found in a wooded area near the apartment by a police K-9 team shortly after the stabbings took place.
Police haven't yet determined a motive. Baptiste and the two victims, who haven't been publicly identified, were reportedly acquaintances and had shared the apartment for less than a year.
“In follow up with members of the community were are learning that this group of individuals moved in there about a year ago,” Middletown Police Chief John Ewanciw told Mid Hudson News following the suspect's arrest.
Local authorities are still working to determine how Baptiste entered the United States initially. Ewanciw said the Haitian migrant came to the U.S. eight months ago, but police were still working "to track back how, where, when."
Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus said Baptiste was awaiting federal immigration proceedings when the stabbings occurred. Baptiste is currently being held in Orange County Jail and scheduled to make a court appearance on Friday (April 5).
By openly waltzing into the country somewhere between the Atlantic and the Pacific in broad daylight?
Just the sort of addition to the country that President BiteMe wants.
I wonder if the judge will let him stay.
...haven’t yet determined a motive...
Hunger?
Two outta three aint bad
but police were still working “to track back how, where, when.
Start with the open border policy...DUH?
He has to face murder charges, so yes he will be staying. If his objective was to not be sent back to Haiti at all costs, he succeeded.
“Hunger?”
As in Leg Tartare?
gruesome🥴
“If his objective was to not be sent back to Haiti at all costs, he succeeded.”
Methinks you are on the right track. Whatever hellhole sort of jail cell they put him in will likely be more luxurious for him than any lodging he could find in the old country.
Probably.
Just give him an appearance ticket and release him with no bail.
What could go wrong?
Maybe he’d eliminate a couple more....
This murderer and those politicians who allowed him to be in our country illegally should have already been tried, convicted, and sentenced to capital punishment for their crimes.
TRUMP’S FAULT! /s
In case anyone is still in the dark, there is a war going on right here.
U.S. citizens are now fair game for predation by foreign nationals.
You can thank your government.
“U.S. citizens are now fair game for predation by foreign nationals.”
No doubt. If this sterling import is willing to stab fellow Haitians it stands to reason he would be only too happy to stab (and eat?) American citizens.
“Is this something we should encourage? Take out as many of your illegal “acquaintances” to save them from deportation??? I think I might drop off some machetes and knives at the nearby hotels housing “migrants” ;)”
:^)
You meant we DON’T have magical soil that changes the culture of the rapefugees?
Just what we need. More IQs of 60.
At least 2 you don’t have to deport anymore.
Make him pinky swear to show back up.
