Jared Eng, 25, pleaded guilty to one count of second-degree murder at the Manhattan Supreme Court on Sept. 16 for the murder of his 65-year-old mother, Paula Chin, in 2019.
Eng, who was a student at SUNY New Paltz, slashed his mother’s throat and brutally beat her on the head during a fight in their shared Tribeca apartment on Jan. 31, 2019, authorities said. With the help of his girlfriend Jennifer Lopez, 18, they sanitized the apartment and brought the mutilated body to a family home in Morristown, New Jersey, using Chin’s vehicle. Eng’s other partner Caitlyn O’Rourke, 21, then helped Eng stuff the corpse into a garbage can at the property on Feb. 1.
After the murder, Eng changed the passwords of Chin’s bank accounts and searched for inheritance lawyers. His motive was to speed up his inheritance of $11 million, according to prosecutors.
