A Massachusetts woman allegedly beat her former landlord to death with a hammer and wrapped his body in a curtain after he found out she was forging checks in his name and had stolen over $40,000, officials said.
The body was wrapped in a curtain and found under construction materials and other heavy items, the release said. It was later determined that Garber and Ke had been spending time together and that Ke had “allegedly been forging checks from the victim’s accounts,” stealing more than $40,000, the release stated.
In the investigation, police combed through financial records and surveillance footage from Garber’s home, which showed an Asian female, later identified as Ke, entering his home in the days before his body was found.
