Police have revealed that the mother found murdered and stuffed into a duffel bag at her New York City apartment were a pair of squatters who beat the woman to death.
Nadia Vitels, 52, was found dead in the East 31st Street apartment in Manhattan’s Kips Bay on March 14 after her family called the building superintendent to do a wellness check.
The medical examiner ruled her death a homicide on Friday after an autopsy ruled she died from multiple facial fractures, a brain bleed, two broken ribs and blunt-force trauma to the head.
NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny identified the suspects as a Black male and a Black female, both in their 20s, who had taken over the apartment, which Vitels owned.
The New York Post explained: Having just flown in from Spain, Vitel had gone to her late mom’s apartment — which had been vacant for roughly three to four months — to start prepping it so a family friend could move in.
‘We believe that some squatters took the apartment over and this woman came home, and walked in on the squatters that were there,’ Kenny said.
The suspects were reportedly seen on surveillance video footage fleeing the apartment after the murder and driving away in the dead woman’s Lexus SUV. They reportedly drove across the George Washington Bridge through New Jersey to Pennsylvania, and ultimately crashed the SUV.
After wrecking Vitels’ SUV, they squatters reportedly visited multiple car dealerships, trying to buy a vehicle with $1,000.
UPDATE: ABC News reported Friday morning that the suspects have now been found. They were taken into custody in York, Pennsylvania Friday morning.
Two suspected squatters have been taken into custody for questioning after they allegedly killed a woman who walked in on them living in her mother’s New York City apartment, police sources told ABC News.
The two suspects were preliminarily identified as teens ages 19 and 16, law enforcement sources said.
Horrifically, Vitels’ son, Michael Medvedev, 19, discovered his mother’s body when he went to the apartment with the building’s superintendent, Jean Pompee, on the afternoon of March 14, after not being able to reach her for 48 hours.
In sickening detail, Kenny said of the son, “As they’re getting ready to leave, the son opens up the closet door near the front door and discovers the duffel bag with a foot sticking out.”
