Horrific security camera footage in a Brooklyn (NY) apartment building show a woman being brutally murdered by a former boyfriend. The boyfriend, Jerome Isaac, 47, posed as an exterminator and doused the woman, 64, with an accelerant from an insect sprayer in an elevator on the fifth floor of the building. The woman was then set on fire and the suspect left to set fire to another nearby apartment building. The suspect turned himself into a Brooklyn Transit Station, reeking of gasoline, per Transit Police. Isaac was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and arson for the two fires.
