The maniac who allegedly slaughtered and burned an elderly Queens couple inside their home snatched a souvenir New York Yankees baseball while fleeing the carnage, according to prosecutors and sources.
Jamel McGriff, 42, was hit with a 50-count indictment Tuesday for allegedly torturing Frank Olton, 76, and his 77-year-old wife, Maureen, inside their Bellerose home before going on a shopping spree on their dime, Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz announced in a statement.
McGriff snatched the baseball belonging to Olton — who he allegedly stabbed several times while tied to a pole in the basement — after forcing his way into the couple’s home on Sept. 8, the indictment said.
The baseball was a 2001 New York Yankees ball that appeared to be stamped with an autograph on behalf of the team and was on display inside the home, according to law enforcement sources.
McGriff also allegedly stole the couple’s credit cards and phones while fleeing the home he allegedly set ablaze, authorities said.
He was spotted walking with a duffel bag from the home, according to prosecutors.
The alleged killer — who was inside the home for about five hours — is accused of going straight to Macy’s in Herald Square to purchase $796.10 worth of clothing on Olton’s card, while providing the cashier with his personal loyalty number for the transactions, prosecutors added.
McGriff also pawned off their two cellphones at a Bronx check-cashing store and kicked up his feet at the Regal Union Square movie theater to watch “Light of the World” — a 2-D animated story of Jesus — on the Oltons’ dime, according to authorities and prosecutors.
He was nabbed on Sept. 10 after cops used surveillance footage from the theater to track him down in Times Square. --->READ MORE HERE
The deranged career criminal busted in the slaying of an elderly Queens couple ludicrously ranted that the two victims were “child molesters” as he was slapped with 16 murder charges Thursday.
Motormouth Jamel McGriff, 42, spewed vile nonsense as he was led in handcuffs out of an NYPD stationhouse by detectives on his way to court – a day after he took in a religious children’s film in a Manhattan movie theater using his victims’ credit cards ultimately leading to his arrest.
“Both of them were child molesters, they were molesting little kids,” an angry McGriff, who is a sex offender, wildly and baselessly claimed as reporters asked him about the crime as grieving community members confronted the captured sicko at the 107th Precinct in Queens.
“Get your facts straight,” the rambling wacko, who has a long rap sheet, sneered as he was tossed into a police car.
About 10 community members gathered to heckle McGriff, who allegedly stabbed and torched Frank and Maureen Olton inside their modest Bellerose house Monday. --->READ MORE HERE
