BREAKING: Philadelphia police have identified a man accused of beating a woman to death with at least one pipe inside an Old City office building Wednesday afternoon.
When police entered the 8th floor, they found Maag suffering from severe head injuries and wounds to her hands and arms. She was taken to Jefferson University Hospital, where she was pronounced dead at 3:16 p.m.
Police also found blood on the floor. Witnesses told investigators the victim, who they described as a"team leader," was sitting in the receptionist chair in an office on the 8th floor when Stepien walked up to her and struck her at least five times in the head with the metal pipe. Police believe Stepien rented at least one office on the 8th floor. They also said he lives near the building.
They also said Stepien and the victim, a Blenheim, New Jersey, resident, knew each other and had conflicts in the past. They don't believe the incident was domestic, however, and they don't believe they ever had a romantic relationship.Stepien is being represented by the Defender Association of Philadelphia. Spokesman George Jackson said the public defender's office had no comment on the case.
