Acting District Attorney Eric Gonzalez, accompanied with
Police Commissioner James P.O` Neil announced to charged a man with allegedly
planning and executing kidnapping and murder of a Williamsburg landlord in
order to get money extorted from the victim.
Police completed this investigation by giving the case
its due time and thoroughly investigating the matter which shows its commitment
and seriousness towards ensuring justice for the victim`s family, Acting
District Attorney said.
The accused was the mastermind behind the plan but not
the only one in executing the kidnapping and murder. Two more persons somehow,
worked for him and aided him kidnapping, murder and dispoding off the body.
The District Attorney told that the victim, named as
Stark, had just left his office in 331 Rutledge Street, Williamsburg, when the
one of the accused named as Erskin Felix and his cousin, reportedly, Kendel
Flix , approached him in the street
at around 11;30 in the evening. They
forced the stark to put him in the vehicle carried over by the accused, stark
resisted physically but ultimately the two forced him into the vehicle and
kidnapped. Their basic aim was to extort the money.
Reportedly Erskin Felix knew Stark and had performed the
labour work for him. He made the entire plan and persuaded his cousin Kendel to
help him in executing this task. After forcing stark into the vehicle he tried to
resist. Then one of the accused sat over his chest and Stark got asphyxiated.
Autopsy was conducted on the dead body. Medical reports also claim
asphyxiation, to be the cause of death, by compression on the neck and chest.
Now both planned to dispose the body somewhere. They took
the help of third person to dispose off the body who is identified as kendall. They
first took kendall along with them. Then they went to Routledge Street. First
of all Erskin moved out of the vehicle but got scared by founding police there
and asked other two to move at any other place. They next drove out to Nassau
County, threw the dead body in dumpster and set the body on fire. Then they ran
away from this place.
17 hours after the kidnapping, stark`s body was found by
Nassau police. It was half burned and was inside a garbage dumpster at a gas
station located at great neck, long island.
Erskin Felix. The main planner, 38, is yet to be brought

along with Erskin may go in jail for 25 years.
