A former New York police officer and cellmate of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein has been found guilty of killing four men in 2015.
Nicholas Tartaglione, who is described by US Attorney Damien Williams as “a former police officer-turned drug dealer,” faces a possible life sentence in federal prison after a jury found him guilty of killing Martin Luna, Miguel Luna, Urbano Santiago and Hector Gutierrez, according to a Thursday news release.
The three men were “simply at the wrong place at the wrong time,” Williams said. The four bodies were found in December 2016 on a property belonging to Tartaglione, located about an hour north of New York City, according to the Chester Police Department. Tartaglione pleaded not guilty to a five-count indictment charging him with the four murders and conspiracy to distribute cocaine, CNN previously reported. Lawyers for Tartaglione have not responded to CNN’s request for comment.
