Heard news about this gruesome murder in New York... Last week in Queens, prosecutors announced that 23-year-old Gary McGurk has been charged in the stabbing death of ex-girlfriend Michelle Lee, a forensic investigator for the New York Police Department: Man Is Indicted in Slaying.
McGurk, a student at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, faces one count of second-degree murder, three count of tampering with physical evidence and two counts of weapons possession. He faces up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted. The guy sounds like a sicko.
According to police, Lee was found with a knife in her throat in her apartment in Sunnyside by her roommate on April 27. Prosecutors said she had been tied to a bed, beaten in the head, bound with a cell phone charger cord, seared on the chest with a steam iron, and stabbed repeatedly.
McGurk allegedly used his "forensic expertise" to try covering his tracks by making Lee's death look like a kinky sex crime: CSI RUSE IN NYPD GAL'S SLAY SCENE. More here: I choked her during sex, Gary McGurk, suspect in NYPD criminalist Michelle Lee's murder, told cops.
