The soulless son who allegedly slaughtered his elderly mother in their luxury Upper West Side building last year left behind a trail of clues pointing to his guilt, prosecutors revealed at his arraignment Monday.
“As alleged, Edward Asencio neglected and isolated his 84-year-old mother before killing her in their shared apartment. The defendant’s alleged attack on his own mother, who relied on him for care, is abhorrent,” said District Attorney Bragg. “Older New Yorkers deserve quality care, and those who abuse the people in their care will be held accountable. If you or someone you know is 60 years or older and a victim of abuse, I encourage you to contact our Elder Abuse Unit at 212-335-9007 or EAU@dany.nyc.gov.”
A man who pleaded guilty to attacking a New Jersey carpenter at a Manhattan bus terminal has been sentenced to 13 years in state prison, officials said.
A 55-year-old man was sentenced for locking seven dogs inside of a Harlem apartment that he set on fire, killing two of the dogs and severely injuring five, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced Friday.
A Harlem man convicted in the death of two puppies inside an apartment he intentionally set ablaze was sentenced to three to six years in state prison Thursday.
