美国纽约皇后区当地时间8日惊传命案！一对年逾七旬的老夫妇在自宅遇害后，房屋随即遭纵火燃烧，其中男屋主被发现时，遗体疑似被绑在地下室的柱子上。警方目前已锁定一名42岁的嫌犯，全力追缉中。
综合外媒报导，死者夫妻为77岁的法兰克.汤玛斯.奥顿（Frank Thomas Olton）与78岁的莫琳.奥顿（Maureen Olton），邻居见到屋子窜出火光急忙报案。而夫妇俩的儿子就在纽约市消防局，儘管紧急赶回家，仍无法阻止悲剧发生。
消防队在扑灭火势后，于屋内找到奥顿夫妇，皆已明显死亡，其中法兰克的遗体在地下室被发现，研判生前被人綑绑在柱子上，遭活活烧死。
警方调查，纵火犯疑似为42岁的贾梅尔.麦格里夫（Jamel McGriff），他于上午10时出现在奥顿夫妇住处，以“手机须充电”为由进入屋内，直至下午15时许才离开。警方研判，凶嫌先持刀刺伤奥顿夫妇，随后纵火逃逸，犯后还曾到当地一间当铺，典当两支手机。
警方也公开相关监视器影像及凶嫌特徵：肤色黝黑，年约30至40岁，中等身材，最后被拍到时身穿黑外套黑帽、蓝色牛仔裤及黑色球鞋，并提醒民众该凶嫌极具危险性，若发现可疑迹象，务必立即通报，全案仍在侦办中。
