PURE EVIL

Man Arrested In Elevator Burning

Had been fired by victim.

New York police arrested a man Sunday in the horrific burning death of a woman in Brooklyn elevator. The woman was burned alive in the elevator of her apartment building Saturday when a man, dressed as an exterminator, doused her with flammable liquid and then set her on fire with a Molotov cocktail in Prospect Heights. All of it was caught in disturbingly clear surveillance footage. The victim, Delores Gillespie, 64, was returning from grocery shopping. Jerome Isaac, 47, has been charged with first-degree murder in Gillespie's death after he turned himself into police. He reportedly had been hired by Gillespie to do odd jobs around her apartment, but had been fired recently when Gillespie caught him stealing.
