GUILTY NY - Andrea Zamperoni, 33, chef at Cipriani Dolci, Queens, 17 Aug 2019 *Arrest*

  • #141
So we know he died Sunday? I haven't seen it confirmed yet that he had been dead since Sunday before the body was discovered on the Wednesday, but I am still catching up with the articles. If you have a link with the date of death confirmed by ME, please post. tia
Replying to my own post. Found some info in today's coverage, bbm.

"According to the complaint, Zamperoni died on Aug. 18—the cause of death is pending toxicology reports—after Barini reportedly gave him liquid ecstasy."

So, he was deceased for days before they found him on the 21st. Unbelievable. Were other johns using that room during those days? Egad.

Rolled in bed linens and stuffed into a garbage can... The smell was noticed by LE upon entering....
So, not one of those large dumpsters out back but a garbage can inside the place?! And a foot was visible?!
Hard to believe that no one (even uninvolved parties) saw, smelled,or overheard conversations about that. I think some of the people staying there are even more sketchy than I originally thought after finding out what generally goes on there.

How are these drugs usually taken? Is this combo something the user would knowingly take or could he be drugged without his knowledge, like in a drink? Or did he have to shoot up? I don't know.

Anyone sleuth Angelina Barini?
I've only searched for a FB page so far with no luck yet.

You can die easily from ingesting liquid fentanyl. Pill form as well. It does not have to be injected.

A quick google search tells me that prostitution is legal in Italy, so he might not have thought of going to that place as doing something as dangerous or unseemly as we do (and obviously it was very dangerous). :(

"Video surveillance shows the two enter the room together on Sunday, Aug. 18 around 4:58 a.m., the complaint said. Later that day, it shows Barjni leave the room and drag a garbage can from the alley inside. The video never shows Zamperoni leave the room again.

Barjni later told police she had met him earlier in the day and they did drugs together and when she woke up he was dead."

"Barini claimed her pimp would not let her call police. Instead, he and others came to the room and discussed cutting up the body—and investigators did find a power saw, an empty suitcase, and bleach in the room, although there was no “external trauma” to Zamperoni’s body."

They need to all be found and charged. This is depraved beyond reason.

Whoa. That is cold.

She drags in a garbage can from outside (and any manager onsite didn't notice?!) and then....leaves it in the room for days? Did she get the body in the can on her own or did her pimp help her?

This is just so depraved.

Source: Prostitute arrested in 3 deaths, including head chef found dead in Queens

From the article:

<snip>"An indictment says she is linked to the recent deaths of three men in Queens: A July 4 death at the Airway Inn at LaGuardia, a July 11 death at the Crown Motor Inn in Woodside and the Aug. 21 death at the Kamway Lodge in Elmhurst -- identified in the court documents as John Doe 3."<snip>

From the article:

<snip>"She told police the chef paid her for sex, that she gave him liquid ecstasy and that after passing out he never woke up, court papers say. As he bled from his nose and mouth, her pimp allegedly told her not to call for help."<snip>

Translated from Italian:

"According to police sources, the results of the autopsy and toxicological tests will not be announced before a week. The body of the young chef has already been returned to the family and therefore the body could soon return to Italy."

"During the first two deaths, which occurred on July 4 and July 11, Barjni was allegedly caught on video surveillance leaving the hotel rooms that the men were later found dead inside, the complaint says.

On Wednesday, Aug. 21, New York City police officers arrived at Room 15 of the Kamway Lodge in Elmhurst, in response to a report of a dead body, the complaint said.

When officers knocked on the door, Barini opened the door and quickly shut it. Police could hear what sounded like someone moving around in the room. Shortly after she opened the door, police could smell an odor consistent with the smell of a dead body and burning incense, the complaint said."

I want to say this is unbelievable, but sadly, it's just not anymore.

Shame his name will be sullied by this. No one deserves this.

So in NY state, when you give someone drugs and they die, what is the usual charge? Manslaughter? Murder? Or just distribution? Seems like distribution is a little minor for having killed three people.

Well, I suspected something like this but not all of it.

Depraved is a good word to describe this.

Wow! So sad for Andrea and his family.

I wonder if other men will have the courage to come forward now?
