New photo reveals slain Queens couple attacked in brutal home invasion; suspect charged with murder
Fox News ^

A new image obtained by Fox News Digital now reveals Frank and Maureen Olton, the elderly Queens couple police say were brutally tied up, stabbed and set on fire after a man claimed he needed to come inside a home to charge his phone.

The victims, ages 76 and 77, were "simply spending a Monday morning at home" before they were murdered and viciously tortured for hours in their Bellerose home, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz said in a press release Friday.

Jamel McGriff, 42, a Bronx ex-con with a decades-long rap sheet, has been charged with 14 counts of murder and 37 charges in total, including kidnapping, burglary, robbery, arson, weapons offenses, grand larceny and identity theft, the Queens County District Attorney’s Office said.

"As alleged, in a brazen act of violence, the defendant forced himself into a Bellerose home, stabbed one of the elderly homeowners to death and then deliberately set the house on fire," Katz said in the release. "This is a horrific double murder that has shocked our entire city. Frank and Maureen Olton were simply spending a Monday morning at home and their deaths have shattered the sense of safety and security in New York. The defendant is now charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and faces life in prison if convicted. I thank the NYPD and the members of my office for their work in apprehending this defendant."

Surveillance footage shows McGriff first approaching a different home around 10 a.m., asking to come inside to charge his phone, and being turned away. He then went to the Oltons’ residence, where Frank allowed him into the backyard before both men were seen entering the home. McGriff was later captured on video leaving five hours later carrying bags.

There is no sense of safety and security in New York. It’s govt purposefully turns criminals loose. New Yorkers are getting what they vote for.... good and hard.

You don’t know?

Last week, Scott released a YouTube screed where he used the results of a sleazy, click-baiting Rasmussen poll as an excuse to say definitively that whites should not live near blacks. The complete context of his comments notwithstanding (Scott is big on camouflaging his opinions in logical gobbledygook that he thinks makes his true sentiments invisible), it was the final straw for his newspaper clients, some of whom began dropping him months ago over Dilbert’s increasingly political story lines, but who have otherwise stuck with Adams through thick and thin for years while he has courted the alt-right with one bouquet of roses after another.

I wonder what they did for the Dark Side Squaws to decide that they deserved to be taken out.

All quotes taken out of context. The usual propaganda from leftist filth.

New Yorkers are getting what they vote for.

What evidence do you have that this elderly couple voted for this ?

Are you ignorant about how elections work ?

A simple majority decides who is elected.

In New York the 2024 election results show:

Harris 55.91% Trump 43.31%

Do you really hate the 43.31% so much that you want them to be tortured to death "good and hard" as you wrote ?

True, and a very good "boot adjuster" too.

This is Black on White.

So it's not a hate crime.

Isn't that what the courts and lawyers always tell us?

It's only Whites who hate and can commit hate crimes.

Not Blacks?

Which is why in New York State this rabid satanic animal will get three hots and a cot and gym privileges for the rest of his f'n life at taxpayers' expense.

Can AG Bondi get him on federal charges?

Wasn't she doing that in another case from New York, which would automatically invoke the death penalty under federal law?
