del.icio.usTwo murders shocked normally quiet South Brooklyn last week — the first involving the stabbing of a man by possible sex partner and the other a murder-suicide.
Police are investigating both crimes, the stabbing death of a man in his Carroll Street apartment on March 25 and the homicide-suicide on Richards Street on March 29.
In the first grisly incident, Sanjeer Seekomar, 34, was discovered dead on the floor in his ransacked apartment between Hoyt and Bond streets at 11 am.
The murderer had stabbed Seekomar in the neck and may have been in the apartment for a romantic liaison, the Daily News reported.
In the second case, a 58-year-old man allegedly strangled his wife to death with the fabric belt from her bathrobe in their apartment between Wolcott and Sullivan streets. Police discovered the husband at 9:51 am with self-inflicted stab wounds to his chest and arms. He was taken to Lutheran Medical Center.
Insult to injury
A looter broke into a commercial safe in a Hicks Street business on March 26 — hours after the building was damaged in a fire.
Details of the blaze are unclear, but according to the proprietor, a prowler stole $1,000 from his vault after the FDNY left the scene between Huntington and West Ninth streets at 5:40 am.
