Assistant Arrested in ******* of Real Estate Agent
By AL BAKER and SEWELL CHAN
A Manhattan personal assistant has told investigators that she fatally bludgeoned her boss, the well-connected real estate agent Linda Stein, in the woman’s opulent Fifth Avenue apartment because Ms. Stein swore at her, waved a stick at her and blew ********* smoke into her face, the police said today.
The assistant, Natavia Lowery, 26, of Brooklyn, was arrested this morning. At an afternoon news conference, Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said Ms. Lowery had told the police that she struck Ms. Stein six or seven times on Oct. 30 with a four-pound exercise stick.
Mr. Kelly said that in Ms. Lowery’s account, Ms. Stein had used “profanity and derogatory language” and refused to stop blowing smoke at her even though the smoke was making her sick. Ms. Lowery had worked for Ms. Stein for about four months, but said Ms. Stein had not verbally ****** her until the day of the *******.
Ms. Lowery, who was held at the Seventh Precinct on the Lower East Side, was to be charged by the Manhattan district attorney’s office this evening.
The police said that investigators followed a dual path in their investigation, combing for physical evidence while conducting dozens of interviews with Ms. Stein’s friends, acquaintances and ****** members.
Investigators returned to Ms. Stein’s apartment to examine the door frame of the apartment and collect fiber samples from the carpet, while detectives from the 19th Precinct in Manhattan and from the Manhattan North Homicide Task ***** interviewed Ms. Lowery repeatedly.
Ms. Stein, 62, a real estate broker at Prudential Douglas Elliman, had a varied and storied career. Born in the Bronx, the ******** of a kosher caterer, she was a pioneer on the punk-rock scene and became a manager for the Ramones. Later, she turned to real estate, working with ********* clients like Madonna and Billy Joel.
The singer Elton John is preparing a memorial concert in Ms. Stein’s memory.
