NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A Bronx man was held without bail following his arraignment on Thursday in the gruesome killings of a husband and wife during a Queens home invasion this week.
Jamel McGriff, 42, of the Bronx, faces a laundry list of charges—including 12 counts of first-degree murder, kidnapping, arson and more—in the brutal deaths of Maureen Olton, 77, and her husband Frank Olton, 76, on Monday afternoon at their home in Bellerose.
When McGriff was spotted in Times Square by police on Wednesday evening, he can allegedly be heard saying on a body-worn camera, “I’ll admit it. I killed them, I don’t give a f***. I burnt [them]. I molested them.”
“This is a horrific double murder that has shocked our entire city,” Queens D.A.

The defendant is now charged with multiple counts of first-degree murder and faces life in prison if convicted.”…
