Slain Tenants, Girlfriend ID’d After Landlord Admits To Stabbing: NYPD

QUEENS, NY - The identities of the three victims slain inside a St. Albans home Tuesday were released after the tenants' landlord - who is the third victims’ significant other - confessed to the deadly crimes, authorities said.

Coleen Fields, 51; Evette Sweeney, 55; and Wayne Thomas, 57, all of 122-39 Milburn St., died in the triple stabbing at the home near Nashville Boulevard in the St. Albans neighborhood of Queens, police said.

David Daniel, 54, was charged late Tuesday with murder and criminal possession of a weapon, police said. If convicted, Daniel faces a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. His next court date is set for November.

Daniel reportedly turned himself in at the 113th Precinct about 7 a.m. Tuesday and told cops that he had a dispute with his tenants, said Kevin Williams, the NYPD's commanding officer for southern Queens.

"The male stated that he 'did something bad,'" he said.

Shortly thereafter, police found a man and woman in a basement bedroom and a woman in an upstairs bedroom, all unconscious with multiple stab wounds, police said.

All three victims were pronounced dead at the scene by medics.

The investigation remains ongoing, police said.
