马可夫在分类广告网站Craigslist寻找攻击对象而犯下的叁起谋杀及攻击案恐成悬案。由於他采凌迟手段自尽,并非立即断气,检察官质疑所方失职。
24岁的马可夫入狱前,是波士顿大学医学系大二生,有美丽的未婚妻,前程似锦。当他去年4月因谋杀罪被捕时,亲朋好友不敢置信。
马可夫前天又有惊人之举,当地媒体报导,他凭藉医学知识,用笔尖刺破主动脉,再用所内福利社取得的透明塑胶袋罩头,慢慢窒息、失血而死。
透过网站Craigslist找生意的色情按摩师茱莉莎布里斯曼,死前与马可夫约在波士顿万豪卡普雷饭店见面。
未料,她後来陈屍饭店房间,胸中3枪、头骨被枪柄敲碎,饭店监视器录到马可夫离开身影,他被列主嫌,警方随後在其住处找到众多物證,并怀疑他涉嫌另两起特种行业女子遭劫案,他矢口否认。检方研判,嫌犯不断找社会边缘人下手,是为满足好赌习性。
拘留马可夫的看守所每天上午7时用餐,但他直到10时才被发现断气,所方因此被市议会批评未尽查房之责。法医将替马可夫验屍,确定死因。
Focus on jail in Philip Markoff death
The revelation yesterday that accused
Craigslist killer Philip Markoff had eight
undisturbed hours to mutilate and suffocate
himself in his cell with a pen and plastic
bags raises serious security concerns about
the safety of guards and inmates in Suffolk
jails, public safety experts said.
“I’m very concerned about it, and not
because I’m a fan of Philip Markoff. The
fact of the matter is he was in our care and
custody. He shouldn’t be killed by himself
or anybody else,” City Councilor Stephen J.
Murphy, chairman of Boston’s Committee on
Public Safety, said last night, after
authorities announced Markoff, 24, bled to
death “at his own hand” in Nashua Street
Jail cell No. 24 while deliberately
depriving himself of air.
Suffolk District Attorney Daniel Conley
said the former Boston University medical
student fashioned a “primitive scalpel” from
a pen and sharp piece of metal and, with a
would-be surgeon’s precision, “inflicted a
series of small punctures and incisions on
his body, including his neck, arms, wrists
and ankles,” opening up both veins and the
carotid artery in his neck.
Markoff also tied clear plastic bags
around his head and feet that Conley said
are “available to inmates at the jail.”
Such makeshift weapons also could be used
for homicide, experts warned.
“There is a reason you never give an
inmate a pen. They can make a sharpened
instrument or weapon out of them,” said Dr.
Ron Martinelli, a California-based forensic
criminologist and police and correction
practices legal expert. Noting that plastic
bags can be twisted into ropes, he added:
“You can kill yourself with even a magazine
and a T-shirt.”
The incident represents a lapse on the
part of Suffolk Sheriff Andrea Cabral,
charged Murphy, a former campaign rival of
Cabral’s.
“There’s deficiencies in that jail, as
chronicled by Philip Markoff,” he said. “We
might have a wrongful-death suit coming at
us, and I’m sick of taxpayers picking up the
bill for her dereliction of duty.”
Video surveillance shows Markoff turned
off his cell light at 1:59 a.m. Sunday, and
- though correction officers passed by his
door during the night - no one entered to
check on him until 10:06 a.m.
Conley said Markoff’s last act was to
paint ex-fiancee Megan McAllister’s first
name in what appeared to be his own blood on
a wall, next to the word “pocket.”
Investigators are trying to determine
what, if anything, “pocket” meant to Markoff.
Markoff had been in custody since his
April 2009 arrest for the murder of
Craigslist erotic masseuse Julissa Brisman,
25, and the violent armed robbery of
Craigslist girl-for-hire Trisha Leffler, 31,
at the swank Westin Hotel.
“It was a tough case,” Boston Police
Commissioner Edward Davis said. “It is
tragic that the Brisman family does not have
closure on this issue and our hearts go out
to them.”
Boston attorney Djuna Perkins said
Brisman’s family members “blame (Markoff)
alone” for denying them their shot at
justice.
“Focusing on Markoff’s suicide,” Perkins
said, “gives undue attention to this
narcissistic sociopath and distracts from
what should be the focus - seeking justice
for the life of the woman he took and the
trauma he caused his other victims.”
