This is definitely another reason why I'm paranoid and don't want to do that project for this class where we have to meet new people. I want to carry my suitcase when I go on a trip....not be in one.
The victim was Betty Willams, 28. Williams was a "strung-out prostitute" who had been to Rikers Island, a prison in NYC, several times. Hassan Malik, her murderer, is a 55 year old Navy Veteran with a long criminal history. Williams went by the name of Jackie.
Williams was a crack addict and had been renting a place from Malik to use for sex. One night Williams brought a drug dealer back to her apartment to buy drugs after he left she took a hit to get high, whereas Malik had taken Seroquel, a sedative and had fallen asleep.
When he woke up he found Williams over him hitting him with the iron bottom end of a frying pan. She was screaming "Where's my money at?" and threatened to have him killed. Malik took the frying pan away from Williams and hit her over the head twice. She continued to fight him and she grabbed a wire from his VCR and wound it around his neck, but again he grabbed it away from her and used it against her, choking her with it, killing her.
After that he called a friend to come to help him hide the evidence. They put her body in a black garbage bag and shoved her body into a suitcase. He wheeled the suitcase out of his building at 11:30 PM on Dec. 21. He walked the suitcase up First Avenue and down 114th St and then decided to leave it by some garbage cans. A few moments later a homeless man found the suitcase with a leg popping out, he then called the police.
It kills me to live in world where horrible things like this happen. I can't understand why anyone would kill another and have no guilt.
