Edward Asencio, accused of killing his mother, had long neglected her care, leading to her death. Prosecutors allege he inflicted abusive treatment and ultimately homicide.
During the hearing, prosecutors stated that Asencio physically abused his elderly mother, neglecting her for months and refusing necessary medical appointments, culminating in her death.
The autopsy revealed blunt force trauma as the cause of death, contradicting initial beliefs of accidental death. The investigation showed a pattern of long-term neglect.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg condemned the defendant's actions as abhorrent, emphasizing that older New Yorkers deserve quality care and that abusers will be prosecuted.
