NEW YORK (WCBS) - The man accused of killing a couple in their 70s and setting them on fire in their New York City home is now facing a slew of charges, including murder, arson and kidnapping. Jamil McGriff, 42, walked out of the 107th police precinct Thursday afternoon in handcuffs. Police said he’s a career criminal who killed 76-year-old Frank Olton and his 77-year-old wife, Maureen, earlier this week. “It’s good police work,” an unidentified neighbor of the Oltons said. Police said they were able to track McGriff down after he used the couple’s credit card to go shopping and purchase a movie ticket in Union Square on Wednesday. He was quickly arrested. “I’m happy that they caught him,” another neighbor, who didn’t provide her name, said. At the Bellerose neighborhood where the Oltons lived, there were tears and prayers. “Two elderly people living in a neighborhood for such a long time and trusting,” the neighbor said. Surveillance video obtained by WCBS shows McGriff entering and leaving the home before the fire. Law enforcement sources said they were tortured and left for dead. Frank Olton was found tied to a pole in the basement and Maureen Olton was found on the first floor. Neighbors said the beloved couple was a staple in the quiet community.

NEW YORK (WCBS) - The man accused of killing a couple in their 70s and setting them on fire in their New York City home is now facing a slew of charges, including murder, arson and kidnapping. Jamil McGriff, 42, walked out of the 107th police precinct Thursday afternoon in handcuffs. Police said he’s a career criminal who killed 76-year-old Frank Olton and his 77-year-old wife, Maureen, earlier this week. “It’s good police work,” an unidentified neighbor of the Oltons said. Police said they were able to track McGriff down after he used the couple’s credit card to go shopping and purchase a movie ticket in Union Square on Wednesday. He was quickly arrested. “I’m happy that they caught him,” another neighbor, who didn’t provide her name, said. At the Bellerose neighborhood where the Oltons lived, there were tears and prayers. “Two elderly people living in a neighborhood for such a long time and trusting,” the neighbor said. Surveillance video obtained by WCBS shows McGriff entering and leaving the home before the fire. Law enforcement sources said they were tortured and left for dead. Frank Olton was found tied to a pole in the basement and Maureen Olton was found on the first floor. Neighbors said the beloved couple was a staple in the quiet community. *Copyright 2025 WCBS via CNN Newsource. All rights reserved.*
