SYRACUSE, N.Y. (1010 WINS) \u2013 Prosecutors in Brooklyn allege that a man accused his ex-girlfriend of stealing and selling his comic books, so he tied her to a chair and set fire to the flat, killing her.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, 28-year-old Lashawn Duffie appeared in court to be charged on charges of first and second-degree murder, kidnapping in the first degree, and robbery in the second and third degrees.<\/p>\n

The judge has scheduled his next hearing for May 3.<\/p>\n

Duffie reported that his ex-girlfriend, 40-year-old Sugerys Ramirez, was selling his comic books outside of their Cypress Hills condominium on Livonia Avenue at 12:30 a.m. on November 11, 2022.<\/p>\n

After stealing money from Ramirez’s companion, he allegedly proceeded to a nearby bodega and spent it on twine, lighter fluid, and a lighter.<\/p>\n

Around 3:50 a.m., prosecutors said, Duffie went back to Ramirez’s residence and assaulted her.<\/p>\n

Afterward, he used twine to tie Ramirez to a chair, doused her with lighter fluid, doused the flame with a match, and left Ramirez to burn to death.<\/p>\n

After the assault, Duffie was allegedly seen on camera tossing his clothing, a lighter, and some paperwork with her name on it into the garbage.<\/p>\n

Firefighters arrived to find the victim’s burnt body. The city’s chief medical examiner ruled that she was killed and burned severely before she died.<\/p>\n

The alleged murder of an innocent woman by this defendant is “brutal and absolutely pointless,” as the Brooklyn district attorney Eric Gonzalez put it.<\/p>\n

If found guilty of all charges, Duffie may spend the rest of his life behind bars without the chance of release.<\/p>\n
