A Brooklyn woman shopped and kept house for an elderly couple – and then, cops said, she sold them out.
A teary Suzette Troutman was busted Monday on murder and other charges
in the home invasion robbery that led to the death of beloved
91-year-old grandfather Waldiman Thompson.
The once-trusted aide and alleged mastermind of the robbery is the
second person arrested in the cruel daytime heist at the
Bedford-Stuyvesant home Thompson shared with his 100-year-old wife,
Ethlin. Troutman was hired about two years ago to help the couple with
odd jobs, as well as shopping and housekeeping, but on Oct. 11, she
helped herself, according to police and Ethlin Thompson’s brother.
With a toddler in tow that day, Troutman drove her nephew and another
man to the Thompsons’ home, where thieves tied up the couple, took a
paltry $5,000 and left Waldiman Thompson to die of a heart attack,
authorities said.
