Assault
Murder
Since the gruesome May 5, 2017, double murder of two doctors in their penthouse South Boston condominium unit, multiple lawsuits have ensued. The murderer, now convicted of two charges of first-degree murder, lurked inside the 11th-floor hallway of the condominium and attacked one of the victims when she returned home. The murderer had worked in the building as a concierge in 2016 and had completed a recent jail sentence for two bank robberies just weeks before the murders. Familiar with the building, the murderer used a security vulnerability known by him and others in the past – accessing the building by following a car into the garage, he got on the garage elevator and waited for it to be called to a residential floor. From there, he took the stairs to access the victims’ 11th floor penthouse unit.
