Robert Strother was nabbed for allegedly tying Princesa Encarnacion-Soto to a bed and stabbing her from head to toe July 22 at a Fordham Heights building, cops said.

Encarnacion-Soto was tied up, stabbed from head to toe, and possibly beaten with a hammer before she was dumped in the stairwell, police and law enforcement sources said.

“We believe that she was tied down to the bed based on the blood that was on the bed,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said of the heinous abuse. “The wounds themselves were inflicted for pain, not to kill. There are slice marks on her thighs, slice marks on her upper arms and shoulders.”

Disgusting. From the NYP story:
Investigators also determined that Strother’s mother, Naida Jorge, scrubbed the crime scene after the murder – and she was arrested on charges of murder, manslaughter, hindering prosecution, concealment of a human corpse, police said.

“She did attempt to clean up the crime scene,” Kenny said. “There was no blood on [the victim] while she laid on the staircase, and she was in fresh clothing that had no blood on her.”
