Found Deceased NY - Snezana 'Suzie' Trifunovski, 62, Lysander, 8 Jan 2018 *Arrest*

[JerseyGirl]

The Onondaga County Sheriff's Office has been investigating the disappearance of Suzie Trifunovski since early in the day Tuesday morning around 9 a.m. Deputies blocked off Woods Road in Lysander, while they went door to door talking with neighbors and inspecting the properties on that dead-end street. A helicopter was also brought in to assist in the search. But deputies were still on the scene with the street taped off at 7 p.m.

The sheriff's office scheduled a news conference for 11 a.m.

'Pravda': How cops got confession in Lysander murder

Sep 13, 2018

"Syracuse, NY -- An Onondaga County detective testified that she wasn't getting far with suspected murderer Pande "Pete" Trifunovski in the disappearance of his wife.

The suspect did not appear to like having a woman interview him, at one point calling one of her questions "stupid," lead investigator Detective Laura Collins testified.

Trifunovski, 68, was a possible suspect at this point, but authorities needed his cooperation to find out what happened to his missing wife, Snezana "Suzie" Trifunovski, 62.

Eventually, Detective Rafal Dobrowolski entered the room at sheriff's headquarters downtown.

A fellow Eastern European, Dobrowolski broke briefly into his native Polish to build a rapport with Trifunovski, who was from Macedonia.

He needed "pravda," Dobrowolski told the suspect. That means "truth," he said, in several Eastern European languages.

The two men talked for a period of time, building rapport. Dobrowolski slowly got closer to asking hard questions about what happened.

When the detective did, Trifunovski confessed to beating his wife to death and hiding her body in a storage unit, authorities said.

Trifunovski signed a confession,..."

Lysander man wants trial in wife's murder moved out of county

Dec 5, 2018

"Syracuse, NY -- A Lysander man accused of murdering his wife argued today that media exposure has ruined his chance for a fair trial.

Pete Trifunovski, 69, is facing what will amount to a life sentence for the January beating and strangling of his wife, Suzie, inside their home along the Seneca River, just off River Road.

Onondaga County sheriff's deputies say Trifunovski killed his wife, then hid her body in a storage unit...

Trifunovski is headed to murder trial next week....

It's unclear what Moynihan's strategy will be at trial. The lawyer has previously said it appeared Trifunovski killed his wife in a fit of passion. But even if the jury agreed, that would likely not be enough to lower his punishment below the plea offers made before trial.

Jury selection begins Monday. Trifunovski remains jailed."

Did Lysander man intend to kill his wife? Jury hears opening statements

Dec 11, 2018

"SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- An Onondaga County jury heard opening statements this afternoon in a murder trial for a Lysander man who is accused of beating his wife to death and hiding her body in a storage unit....

Defense lawyer Ken Moynihan told the jury that they must decide if Pande Trifunovski intended to kill his wife on Jan. 8 inside their home along the Seneca River, just off River Road.

Moynihan told the jury that he'll present evidence that shows that Trifunovski did not intend to kill his wife during a heated argument in their home. He said the couple had "tumultuous relationship" and lived in a "hostile household."

Assistant District Attorney Jarrett Woodfork told the jury that Trifunovski struck his wife in the back of the head with a piece of wood. She was beat, strangled and suffocated, Woodfork said....

Woodfork said the jury will also hear Trifunovski's police interview where he said the words: "I killed my wife."

Jury selection started Monday and Trifunovski appeared ready to plead guilty moments before prospective jurors were called into the courtroom. He answered many of the questions that come before the plea itself.

But Trifunovski tripped up when asked by a judge if he intentionally killed his wife. Trifunovski would not admit to intending to kill his wife, which is a condition of a murder plea.

A jury was selected and the trial began Tuesday....

The trial will continue in Judge Stephen Dougherty's courtroom on Wednesday."

'You murdered her', Lysander man sentenced for killing his wife

February 15th 2019

"A Lysander man has been sentenced to 25 years to life in prison for murdering his wife last year....

"You murdered her. You beat her with a log. You strangled and suffocated her until she died. You murdered her," said Onondaga County Court Judge Stephen Dougherty. "Since the day that you murdered your wife, you never showed one bit of remorse. There has never been one bit of regret. There’s never been any apology for what you did. I hope you live a long time in state prison. I hope your days are filled with memories of what you did to your wife and that your nights are filled with the nightmare of what you did to your own family."..."
