A transgender man who recently transitioned is accused of killing his mother and pet poodle in a senseless stabbing attack in New York City last week.
According to the New York Post, police found the bloodied body of Donna Hyman inside her Brooklyn apartment on Jan. 19. She had been stabbed 58 times, including 26 wounds to her head.
Her small curly-haired tan dog was found dead outside the building after investigators allege the pet was stabbed nine times and thrown from the 11th floor balcony of her unit.
On Wednesday, Andre Eugene, 36, was charged with murder, criminal possession of a weapon and aggravated cruelty to animals, according to ABC affiliate WABC.
The New York Police Department was told by Hyman’s sister that the victim had called her but only screamed into the phone.
Police officers arrived at the apartment and found Eugene naked inside. Cops described him as a transgender man who had recently transitioned.
Eugene, who worked as a teaching assistant at a public school for the past decade, was asked by a neighbour if he needed help, the Post reported.
“I don’t need any help,” he apparently said. “My mother is dead. She committed suicide.”
Investigators don’t believe that is what happened.
Eugene told cops that he was bit by the dog and he stabbed her pet. He alleged his mother retaliated by stabbing his back.
Police say Eugene, who lived with his mother, had a dog bite on his thigh and several “shallow” stab wounds to his chest. He was taken to hospital and had his injuries treated.
However, investigators believe Eugene’s stab wounds were not from his mother.
“We call them hesitation wounds,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny alleged to reporters this week. “We believe it to be self-inflicted.”
Cops added Eugene had no prior criminal record.
The most horrifying thing is this sick murderer was teaching children for the past 10 years.
This rabid transgender man should be put down like the Mad Dog that he is this is not normal behavior for any person that deserves to live on this Earth they need to be put down and put down now outrageous
NO SUCH THING as a Trans Man. It’s a mentally Ill female – Nothing more. Why hasn’t the MSM covering this diseased pandemic they promote. These freaks are ill. The hormones they take sure do not help the situation. Stabbing is personal…58 times is psychotic. What kinda of freak throws a dog out the window? Put this thing down like you would a rabid dog.
