Скачать или смотреть Bronx man held without bail in horrific murders of Queens couple burned in their home

⚖️ A Bronx man was held without bail following his arraignment on Thursday in the gruesome killings of a husband and wife during a Queens home invasion this week.

Jamel McGriff, 42, of the Bronx, faces a laundry list of charges—including 12 counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping, arson and more—in the brutal deaths of Maureen Olton, 77, and her husband Frank Olton, 76, on Monday afternoon at their home in Bellerose.

When McGriff was spotted in Times Square by police on Wednesday evening, he can allegedly be heard saying on a body-worn camera, “I’ll admit it. I killed them, I don’t give a f***. I burnt [them]. I molested them.”

In a criminal complaint, the prosecution said evidence suggests McGriff stabbed Frank Olton multiple times and started a fire on his chest and that he strangled and burned Maureen Olton to death. Frank Olton was found bound to a pole in the basement, while his wife was discovered on the first floor.
