An alleged confession of stabbing his lover and two of his tenants to death has put a Jamaican landlord in Queens, New York, on trial for murder. David Daniel age 54 recently entered a police station, according to the New York City Police Department, and informed the officers that he had been “having issues” with his renters before claiming he had done something horrible at the residence.
Following their rush to the scene, the police said that they arrived at the landlord’s St. Albans two-story home at approximately seven in the morning and discovered two tenants—a man and a woman—dead in the basement and the suspect’s girlfriend dead in an upstairs bedroom. All the victims had several knife wounds.

Daniel was charged with three counts of murder and criminal possession of a firearm. Daniel was identified by the police as the tenants’ live-in landlord. According to court documents, he entered a not-guilty plea.
According to reports, the suspect’s neighbors thought he was a kind guy who kept to himself.
The police claim that the guy has never been in trouble before. His birthplace is Kingston, Jamaica.
The victims were identified by the authorities as Wayne Thomas, 57, Coleen Fields, 51, and Evette Sweeney, 55, all residents of Queens.
He may receive a life sentence without the chance of release if proven guilty. Court records stated that he was scheduled to return to court on Friday.
