NEW YORK — Murder charges were filed on Monday against a homeless man accused of following a woman into her Chinatown building and stabbing her to death inside her apartment as she desperately screamed for help.
Victim Christina Yuna Lee’s cries were still ringing in the ears of a neighbor a day after he called 911 hoping against hope that police would arrive in time to save her from an intruder. But by the time cops got into the apartment, she was dead in a bathtub.
Her bloodied suspected killer, Assamad Nash, was hiding under a bed, cops said.
