Widow and her brother are found guilty in brutal 1996 slaying of New York businessman Howard Pilmar
Pilmar's throat was slashed and he was stabbed 48 times. The attack continued after his heart stopped beating and his body was left on the floor, Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance said in a news release.Investigators spent more than two decades looking for his killers and finally arrested two people in 2017 -- Pilmar's widow, Roslyn Pilmar, then 60, and her brother, Evan Wald, then 43.Friday, a jury found them guilty of second-degree murder.
In the news release, the district attorney's office said Roslyn Pilmar and her brother requested keys to the building where Howard Pilmar's office was located and asked for information about how to close the office at night and where the video cameras were located in the building lobby."Then on March 21, 1996, the defendants met the victim at his office," the district attorney said. Howard Pilmar's body was found the next morning by the company's controller.
