Real estate agent’s aide admits slaying
From Times Wire Reports
The mystery surrounding the slaying of celebrity real estate agent Linda Stein was solved, police said, when her personal assistant confessed, claiming Stein pushed her over the edge, blowing marijuana smoke in her face and making a racially charged comment. Stein, 62, was white. The suspect, Natavia Lowery, 26, is black.
Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said Lowery told detectives Stein was “verbally abusive” the day of the killing, Oct. 30, and used “derogatory language” because Lowery wasn’t answering Stein’s e-mail as quickly as Stein wanted.
