A Brooklyn man accused of killing his girlfriend and her 91-year-old stepfather slit their throats in their kitchen then changed out of his bloody clothes before police arrived, prosecutors say.
Prosecutors didn’t offer any hint of 46-year-old Kerry Lewis’ motive for the killings at his arraignment in Brooklyn Criminal Court Tuesday.
Lewis, who appeared in court in a white Tyvek suit, was ordered held without bail on murder and weapon possession charges.
He is accused of killing Roosevelt “Bubba” Simmons and 66-year-old Jacqueline “Jackie” Delyons, in their shared Cypress Hills house on Warwick St. near Arlington Ave. Sunday.
A 61-year-old woman — described by a law enforcement source as Simmons’ daughter-in-law, who also lives in the house — came home at 3:45 p.m. and encountered Lewis at the top of the stairs putting on work gloves, Assistant District Attorney Lesley Oseep said in court.
“Bubby and Jackie are dead,” Lewis told the woman, according to Oseep. “The side door is open.”
