A Brooklyn man is charged with murder after he allegedly stabbed a man who took part in a threesome with his girlfriend.
Christopher Membreno, 24, reportedly admitted to police that he committed the crime as an act of revenge against the man whom his girlfriend said raped her, the New York Daily News reported.
Police said Membreno was charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon Tuesday.
Police sources said Membreno told officers he chased Manos Ikonomidis, 20, once he showed up to the building in Park Slope where the threesome happened and then stabbed him.
The Daily Mail reports that Ikonomidis suffered five stab wounds in the chest and back in the alleged attack which left him bleeding and unconscious in the building’s lobby.
“I want justice for this thing,” said the victim’s mother, 41-year-old Maro Mitilinou. “Tell me I’m in a nightmare. Tell me I’m gonna wake up.”
Investigators say Ikonomodis had a consensual threesome with the unidentified girlfriend and his friend 21-year-old Jack Doherty at Doherty’s apartment early Monday morning.
The woman reportedly ended the sexual encounter when one of the men started filming it.
Doherty, who is not facing charges, drove the woman home to Staten Island while Ikonomidis remained at the apartment, the New York Post reported.
The woman contacted Membreno to say she was raped shortly after she left the building.
Police sources said at least three men, including Membreno, went to Ikonomidis’ apartment to get their revenge.
Surveillance footage captured three men armed with baseball bats chasing Ikonomidis in the lobby while he tried to flee the building.
The three men allegedly attacked the victim in a hallway, leaving him bleeding in the lobby.
Ikonomidis later died of his injuries at New York Methodist Hospital.
Police said they are still looking for three other suspects.
