Markoff is being held in Nashua Street jail for allegedly killing 25-year-old Julissa Brisman — a masseuse he met on Craigslist — inside a room at the Boston Copley Marriott on April 13, and robbing another woman at the Westin Copley Hotel days earlier.
BOSTON. Philip Markoff, the Boston University student charged with killing a woman he met on Craigslist, will face four more charges for an April 16 incident in Rhode Island in which he allegedly tried to rob a prostitute, authorities announced yesterday.
Rhode Island District Attorney Patrick C. Lynch said that an arrest warrant has been issued for Markoff for a crime he has been suspected of for weeks. Although Lynch is confident in the case, he won’t get to prosecute the so-called Craigslist killer until Markoff’s Suffolk County case is resolved.
“I think we’re all aware of the notoriety put upon [this case] and most painfully and poignantly the loss of a young woman’s life in Massachusetts,” Lynch said. “We’re all anxious to move through that process.”
The latest charges allege that Markoff, 23, met a Las Vegas prostitute online and arranged to meet her inside a Warwick Holiday Inn Express, where he tied her up and attempted to rob her. Markoff fled when the woman’s husband arrived, authorities believe.
