Police are seeking a man who called 911 from a Tribeca pay phone last night and confessed to killing his girlfriend. A police source tells the Daily News that the call came in around 6:42 p.m. from a phone at Church and Warren Streets and that initially it was deemed to be from a "suicidal male." "He said he wanted to hurt himself," the source says. "Then he confessed to having killed his girlfriend. Then he ran off and left the line open." Thirty minutes later, a 48-year-old woman was found dead of apparent head trauma inside an apartment on East 174th Street in the Bronx.
According to the NYPD the woman had been dead for several days, and an autopsy will determine her exact cause of death. The building in which the woman was found housed the homeless, and a neighbor of the couple, 54-year-old Linda Lincoln, tells the paper that they were homeless, and recycled cans for money. "Her boyfriend used to beat the shit out of her," Lincoln says. "She used to run and hide in my apartment. We'd keep her safe."
