"A Brooklyn man allegedly confessed to stabbing his grandmother, admitting the crime to his own mom shortly after the victim was found, authorities said. "I killed grandma," Jackson King allegedly said after 85-year-old Julia Boomer was found battered and with multiple stab wounds, according to a criminal complaint. An unkempt-looking King, 22, appeared in court Saturday to face a murder charge in Boomer's Jan. 13 death."
"The suspect spoke to his lawyer but otherwise said nothing as he was arraigned in front of Judge Elizabeth Warin on charges of murder and criminal possession of a weapon in the killing of Julia Boomer. Brooklyn Defense Services Lawyer Matt Coretto asked for medical and psychiatric attention for his client, who has been hospitalized since the heinous crime. Prosecutor Taylor Lupi asked Jackson be sent to jail and the judge agreed, sending King to Rikers Island without bail."
"Boomer was stabbed multiple times just before 10 p.m. on Jan. 13 in the home she shared with Jackson on Throop Ave. in Bedford-Stuyvesant. The victim's daughter made the grim discovery, cops said. Boomer was rushed to Kings County Hospital in critical condition but couldn't be saved. King has three prior arrests on his record for grand larceny and criminal contempt, police sources said."
