Rail horror slay
He drags woman onto subway & both are killed
A man and woman who died Thursday under a subway train in Brooklyn had fallen to the tracks in a murder-suicide, police said Friday.
Police said Cynthia Raiser, 42, of Queens, was pulled onto the tracks at the Broadway Junction station by Fulton St. and Van Sinderen Ave. about 4:45 p.m. Thursday by her 54year-old boyfriend.
The two were struck by a northbound C train and killed.
“The guy was a mental case. But she don’t listen to me. I say stay away.” the woman’s father James Raiser told the Daily News Friday, adding that he tried to convince her to leave him. “She was considering it.”
Instead, her life was cut short.
“She was the love of my life; everything,” the grieving father added. “She means everything to me, because I was everything for her.”
He said his daughter, who worked in a dental office, left home at 3 p.m. to meet her boyfriend, identified by police sources as Anthony Collins, of Brooklyn.
Raiser, who celebrated his birthday Wednesday, said his daughter had forgotten the date, but he gave her half his birthday cake anyway.
“She went to see that motherf----with my birthday cake and the food I gave her,” he said.
Cops classified the incident as a homicide..
Collins’ former roommate and friend Jerry Bonner was at a loss to explain his behavior. “Something must have really happened bad for him to be in that state,” he said. “Oh my god. I’m a little messed up right now.”
Bonner said Collins was addicted to pills.“He was a good dude. He struggled with addiction, but I didn’t think he was in that frame of mind,” Bonner said. “He was on medication and he was using too much of it. It made him look always down, just depressed.”
Medics said Raiser was dead at the scene. They rushed Collins to Brookdale Hospital where he died.
James Raiser said his son Jaime saw Cynthia’s body at the hospital. He said his son told him, “Daddy you should never see that picture. Especially you.”
“Then for the first time in his life, I heard him cry,” the dad said.
