Juliet Kashidas-Singh, a 64-year-old breast cancer survivor, was found murdered on her front steps in Queens, with an electrical cord around her neck. The suspect, Francisco Sevilla, 40, had previously worked with her in construction and was allegedly involved in a dispute over $300 that she owed him. Sevilla was apprehended hours later with blood on his hands and charged with first-degree murder. Witnesses described Singh as having hired Sevilla to assist her, raising suspicions about their relationship leading up to the tragic incident.
Sevilla was arrested hours later, at around 1 a.m. Friday - when he was found walking around with blood on his hands.
He was charged with first-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon, cops said. But Sevilla told investigators he was 'under the influence' and doesn't remember anything.
The front of the victim's home - an otherwise tranquil space with a tidy garden - was marred with blood stains on the steps, a half-eaten apple, a man's wallet and a towel strewn on the ground.
A 73-year-old neighbor named Dave, who has lived down the block from the victim for more than 30 years, said Singh owned a landscaping business with her previous husband.
