"During his arraignment on Sept. 11, Jamel McGriff, 42, who stayed at a homeless shelter on Creston Avenue, kept his mouth shut as he was criminally charged with 12 counts of murder in the first degree, two counts of murder in the second degree, robbery, burglary, arson, and other related crimes for the deaths of a husband and wife inside their home on Sept. 8."
"On Sept. 8 at approximately 10:08 a.m., McGriff entered the Oltons' residence at 87-86 254th St. He was allegedly seen at approximately 3:08 p.m. leaving the residence and carrying a duffel bag. A few minutes later, the Oltons' son, an FDNY paramedic, received a notification from an alarm company that there was a fire at the residence. When the FDNY responded to the location, the Oltons were found dead inside the home."
"Maureen Olton was found in the living room with extensive burns to her body. She also sustained a fractured larynx and had soot in her trachea and one lung. Frank Olton was discovered in the cellar with his hands bound with a cord and tied to a pole. He was stabbed multiple times in the neck and chest, which caused his death."
