Busted in Bx. hooker slay
Bloods creep also held in stab of other woman hrs. before
An ex-con has been charged with using a butcher knife to kill a prostitute inside a Bronx motel — and with stabbing and wounding another woman just hours earlier, police sources said Monday.
Baron George, 38, was nabbed Dec. 5 in the brutal murder of Brizjel Kemp, who was stabbed 67 times the morning of Nov. 22 inside a room at the Holiday Motel alongside the New England Thruway near Conner St. in Eastchester.
Kemp, 36, came from her home in upstate West Henrietta, near Rochester, where she had arrests for prostitution, to visit her 2-yearold son, who lives with his father in the Bronx, sources said.
George, a Bloods gang member whose arrest record dates back to a gunpoint robbery when he was 11 years old, used Slip the Game, an escort website, to pay Kemp for sex, sources said.
Video shows the suspect entering Room 106 about 9:45 a.m., then leaving six minutes later, bloodied and with no shirt, on as Kemp lay on the floor begging for help, sources said. George lives about a mile from the motel.
George was also charged with using a butcher knife, believed to be the same weapon, to stab another woman less than six hours earlier, at 3:25 a.m., on White Plains Road.
The woman, who also has a history of prostitution arrests, refused to give George oral sex in his car, at which point he allegedly attacked her, slashing her in the hand.
She ran off, sources said, but George caught up to her and stabbed her in the back and right arm, wounds for which she was hospitalized.
The same car, sources said, was seen on video at the motel.
It wasn’t clear why George killed Kemp.
A friend of Kemp’s poured his heart out in a posting for the Rochester funeral home that handled the victim’s arrangements.
“You will be missed dearly,” Russell Gilliard wrote. “We always used to vibe. You will be missed. Damn I just spoke to you. Rest
easy pretty girl.”
George served three years in prison for a 2006 conviction for second-degree rape. Such a charge involves a minor or someone mentally disabled, though details of that case were not immediately clear.
George has 11 other arrests. His first one, in 1993, was for a Bronx gunpoint robbery when he was just 11, sources said. That case is sealed.
He had two other arrests before he was 15, for robbery and assault for a weapon. His other arrests
include two for sex offenses, plus arrests for gun possession.
George is being held with no bail after being arraigned on murder, attempted murder and weapons charges.
His lawyer Gary Sunden declined to comment.
