Okay - here's what I have - and I'll shorten this up a bit too. Update in red.
Update!
Saturday, July 18th:
*Arraignment Hearing (@ am ET) - NY – Fahim Saleh (33) (July 15, 2020, Manhattan) – *Tyrese Devon Haspil (21) taken into custody (7/17/20), charged & arraigned (7/18/20) with 2nd degree intentional murder. Plead not guilty. Held without bond.
The decapitated & dismembered body of a self-made millionaire has been found in his luxury Manhattan apartment by his heartbroken sister, and cops are now hunting for a professional killer who cut up the 33-year-old's corpse with an electric saw. A millionaire tech entrepreneur who moved into his $2 million Lower East Side apartment late last year. Police believe they have surveillance footage of the suspect entering the building on Monday and then using the elevator. Fahim was incapacitated about 1:40pm Monday, 7/13 & sister arrived on Tuesday, 7/14 about 3:30pm. Fahim was tased after getting off the elevator with the killer. Was stabbed repeatedly in the chest (torso) & neck area.
7/15/20 Update: A cold-blooded killer, clad in a ninja outfit, left his victim’s dismembered corpse inside a $2 million Lower East Side condo just moments before the victim’s cousin arrived at the crime scene, a police source indicated Wednesday. The suspect bolted via a staircase as the sister rode the elevator upstairs to visit victim Fahim Saleh, with her impending arrival interrupting the killer’s efforts to scrub the bloody condo clean & dispose of the body. The killer left behind the electric saw used to decapitate the 33-year-old victim and lop off Saleh’s arms and legs, and the source said cleaning materials were also found inside the seventh-floor residence. He was dressed like a ninja, full out, so you can’t even see his face,” the source said. “He clearly knew what he was doing. We think his intent was to get rid of the body parts and go back and clean it up and make it look like nothing happened. He left before he finished.
7/16/20: Police on Thursday identified a person of interest in the death of a tech entrepreneur. They have not publicly named the person of interest.
7/17/20 Update: The NYPD have identified a person of interest described as an ex-worker, a personal assistant of Fahim's. The 21-year-old suspect Tyrese Devon Haspil has not yet been formally charged but is expected to face second degree murder & other offenses. The motive appeared to be a business dispute & the theft of tens of thousands of dollars ($90K). So far, no one is in custody in connection to the crime. Detectives believe that the motive for the killing stemmed from Mr. Saleh having discovered that the assistant had stolen tens of thousands of dollars from him, despite the fact that Mr. Saleh had not reported the man and had set up what amounted to a repayment plan for him to return the money, one of the officials said. Investigators ran a credit-card check and determined that Haspil’s was used to buy the saw and cleaning supplies used after the murder, and that his card was even used to pay for rides to and from the crime scene. Police were able to identify Haspil by anti-felon identification (AFID) cards that were spewed like confetti in Saleh's apartment after Saleh was stunned with a Taser.
7/18/20: Haspil was arrested on Friday, 7/17/20 & was arraigned on Saturday morning in criminal court in Manhattan & charged with 2nd degree murder. Mr. Haspil’s lawyers, Sam Roberts and Neville Mitchell, said their client had pleaded not guilty. Judge Jonathan Svetkey ordered him held without bail. Next hearing date 8/17/20.
Now that's cold. Those red-soled shoes take on a whole new meaning to me now. Moo.
