Murder in NYC’s Chinatown
Suspected murderer Michael Lenehan escorted
out of Chinatown’s 5th Precinct
On Tuesday night, police responding to a 911 call discovered the body of a dead woman in an apartment in New York City’s Chinatown. The suspect, 29-year-old Michael Lenehan (our Chinatown contacts inform us that Lenehan is indeed Chinese American and “Lenehan” is actually his middle name; no explanation why the media is not using his actual surname), is believed to have strangled the woman in his apartment on Saturday after meeting her at a club. Police say Lenehan had left the corpse in his bedroom for three days until his mother discovered it and called 911.
The victim has not yet been identified but she is believed to be in her thirties. Conflicting news reports have suggested she is either from Mainland China or Puerto Rico.
More on this as it develops.

mainland or puerto? it seems such a a far stretch from each other. unless she a chinese puerto rican. but this story is just plain weird with so many elements changed like his name.
