The New York Daily News reports one of the more bizarre tragedies of the day:
“A cross-dressing, bearded Hasidic man wearing blue eye shadow and pink pumps was busted on charges of killing a 75-year-old rabbi who had taken him into his home.”
The poor rabbi had recently lost his wife to brain cancer and had taken the man as a boarder to help with the rent, but after he didn’t show up to the senior center for a few days, a friend stopped by and noticed the smell. The cross-dressing killer “had a full face of makeup on – with a beard,” according to a source, but had only previously been seen by his neighbors dressed in traditional Hasidic garb.
