Arrest in former Ramones' manager murder

Contributed by yahay. Posted by aubin on Friday, November 9, 2007 at 9:00 PM (EST)

An arrest has been made in the senseless murder of former Ramones manager and New York City realtor, Linda Stein. According to CNN,

The suspect is Linda's personal assistant, Natavia Lowery, said police spokesman Paul Browne. She "made statements implicating herself" in the killing, he said.

She's credited with bringing the Ramones to England for their infamous July 4, 1976, show. That performance is often described as the catalyst for the punk movement in Britain. After Stein and Fields parted ways with the Ramones in 1980, she eventually launched a real estate career brokering multimillion-dollar Manhattan apartments for rock and roll royalty.

if you read the news articles, supposedly she was bludgeoned to death because she verbally abused the personal assistant, waved a stick at her, then blew marijuana smoke in her face.

law and order episode, isnt it.

I won't say she had it coming, but it sounded like Linda was acting like an absolute cunt and probably had some sort of cumuppance headed her way. Nothing this severe, though.

Come here. I have a lungful of marijuana to blow in your face, Matt. I'll even hold on to some yoga sticks while I'm doing it.

Comeuppance?

Here's a pretty good article on it. She hired a sketchy replacement after firing her old assistant. Biggest mistake she ever made.

I would like to publicly apologize for even having thought that Ms. Stein's family may have had something to do with this. I stated on this board that I felt it was an "inside job" due to the building's security, complete with private elevator to the penthouse.

While I imagine Ms. Lowery will possibly get some sort of consideration at her sentencing (due to her apparent confession), I hope the judge locks her up for the rest of her natural life.
