NEW YORK — Assamad Nash, the 25-year-old man accused of brutally stabbing an Asian woman to death in her apartment, refused to attend his arraignment on Wednesday, according to the court.
On Feb. 13, police found Christina Yuna Lee, 35, stabbed dozens of times after a neighbor who heard her screaming called 911. Prosecutors revealed new details from when officers arrived on the scene, including the lies caught on body-warn cameras as Nash tried to convince police to leave.
Nash also tried to convey that he was trying to"help" and that he had come from a party earlier in the night, according to the court documents, obtained by ABC News. Prosecutors accused Nash of feigning innocence in the ambulance ride after he was taken into custody, saying,"How is the girl in the apartment? Is she ok? We were partying and the dude escaped," according to the indictment.
Surveillance video from Lee's building shows her exiting a cab at 4:23 a.m. before she was followed into her building, prosecutors said. Officers found her in the bathroom with multiple stab wounds to her neck and torso from her own kitchen knife, police said. She was pronounced dead at the scene, and Nash was found hiding under a bed, according to the criminal complaint.
