Stranger who viciously killed sleeping Florida teen lived in 'horror movie' apartment, landlord says - as cops admit they are bewildered over random slaying
A stranger who killed a sleeping teenage boy in Florida lived in an apartment reminiscent of a horror movie as his former landlord said he always had an off feeling about him. Kyrill Kehl, 26, killed Dominic Ferrell, 17, in his 34th floor apartment in the Icon Brickell building in Miami while he sleept after the killer bypassed security and got on the elevator with other residents on June 8. Kehl started on the 47th floor, trying doors until he reached Ferrell's on the 34th and found it open. Upon entering, he stabbed the sleeping teen to death before eventually falling hundreds of feet to his death from a different building when he fled. His former landlord, Christian, said after seeing the news that he always had a weird feeling about his tenant, and even predicted that Kehl would end up making headlines. 'I remember specifically leaving the building and saying: "I have a feeling we haven't heard the last of this dude." And I said: "Watch, this motherf**ker is gonna be on the news one day,"' he told WSVN. 'I had this weird inkling feeling of like, Dahmer. I literally had this thought like: "Oh my God, we're dealing with Dahmer here." Jeffrey Dahmer vibes.' Kehl was Christian and his business partner's first tenant and the landlord said the young man lived in absolute filth and hid an automatic weapon in his apartment. The killer's fridge was filled with couch cushion-sized chunks of meat that were rotting and covered in maggots. The apartment also had a strong odor, he said. His former landlord, Christian (pictured), said he always had a weird feeling about his tenant. Kehl was Christian and his business partner's first tenant and the landlord said the young man lived in absolute filth. 'It was like something out of a horror movie,' he said 'How could anybody live in here with this smell? It smells like something is rotting,' Christian told the outlet. 'It was like something out of a horror movie.' Christian also recalled an encounter with the strange young man once inside the apartment. As the landlord approach the closet, Kehl jumped in front of him ad told him: 'Don't go in there.' The contents of the closet are unknown. The landlord feels guilt for not being able to prevent the tragedy, but he said his tenant never did anything illegal or that would have prompted him or his business partner to call the authorities. 'I'm still in disbelief, because I feel like, had we done something, but there's no way,' he told the outlet. 'There's no telling whether you know for sure you're in the presence of a murderer.' Surveillance footage that has not been released to the public allegedly showed Kehl seen sprinting from the apartment after the murder and several knives were found at the scene, investigators said. Ferrell was found dead in his bed by his father, Jon Ferrell, who was also asleep at the time of the attack. The boy was visiting his father against his mother's wishes that day, as she had gotten a temporary restraining order against Jon, according to the Miami Herald. The apartment where Ferrell was killed was a short-term rental. 'Consistent with Dominic's extraordinary empathy and our loving bond, he chose to join me on the night of this horrific event. Of course, my wife and I will cooperate with law enforcement as we get to the bottom of this senseless murder,' Jon said in a statement. Police said they found Kehl's body at the construction site the next morning after following a trail of blood from the scene of Farrell's slaying. Ahead of Father's Day, Jon encouraged parents to 'hug your children and appreciate every precious moment you have with them.' He also revealed the day of the murder, he and his son were discussing what they're plans were for Father's Day and had planned a family golf game.

Grim new details emerge about high flying Boston attorney stabbed to death on his houseboat
A high-flying Boston attorney was allegedly fatally stabbed more than 67 by his lover on his houseboat. Joseph Donahue, 65, was found with part of a knife blade stuck in his forehead and numerous stab wounds in February after police conducted a wellness check on his houseboat when he went radio silent for days. His body was wrapped in a carpet that was secured with duct tape and weighed down by dumbbells that were connected via a jump rope, Law and Crime reported. Two pink nails were also found on Donahue's body, with his alleged lover Nora Nelson, 24, admitting to police were hers. The home was allegedly covered in a 'significant amount of reddish-brown stains' and one of Donahue's dogs Champ's body was found in the water near the boat. A necropsy report said the animal died from strangulation. Part of a knife was also found in the water, matching the fragment that was located in his forehead, the outlet said. Nelson also reportedly gave police two fake names - Casey and Mary - and was allegedly seen picking up things around the home before letting police in. Police had arrived at the home around 11pm on February 2, Nelson answered the door with Donahue's other dog. Police asked her to secure the dog and while doing so, she was observed running around and 'cleaning up or picking up different items,' Prosecutor Rita Muiz said in court. When she returned, she gave police 'inconsistent, contradictory, and frankly nonsensical answers' and told them her name was 'Casey,' prosecutors said. Upon entering the household, Donahue's body was found and blood stains were seen throughout the home. Nelson was taken to the police station, where she then said her name was 'Mary' and she was read her Miranda rights. She pleaded not guilty at her arraignment on Friday. She has been charged with murder. Since her arrest, her mental health has been evaluated and a clinician said the woman has symptoms of a psychotic disorder. Symptoms are lessening as she is medicated, Law and Crime stated. As investigators looked into the young woman, who is originally from Tennessee, they found she had multiple warrants out for her arrest from unrelated incidents dating back to 2023. Nelson's alleged criminal history was uncovered after she was identified as a person of interest in Donohue's death, and she was taken into custody on several unrelated warrants in Texas. In September 2023, she faced charges of assault with a dangerous weapon on a person over 60, threatening to commit a crime, and malicious destruction of property. And just a month after that incident, Nelson allegedly shoved her ex-boyfriend and broke multiple items in his apartment after refusing to move out when they broke up, a police report said. She had also allegedly thrown a television remote at her ex in another attack, and he accused her of owing him over $300,000, police said. Nelson's attorneys said this week that she has no criminal record in Massachusetts and is a graduate from the University of Maryland with a degree in computer science. She is currently being held without bail. Nelson is expected back in court on July 15.

I saw arrogant Mick Philpott carry out sick plot to emerge as the ‘hero' before torching home & burning kids alive
WHEN Mick Philpott burned his six children to death in a family home, horrified parents struggled to comprehend what kind of monster could commit such a sickening crime. Now, a Sun investigation has uncovered new evidence of his botched game plan to play the 'hero' by rescuing his kids from the flames, and how he desperately tried to deflect the blame as his doomed plot unravelled. 12 12 Speaking for the first time in our brand new series, Scene of the Crime, the killer's traumatised neighbours shine fresh light on what really happened before and after that tragic night 13 years ago. On the day before he set the Derby property alight on May 11, 2012, one recalls spotting him carefully setting up two ladders beneath the upstairs windows in a brazen bid to later pull the kids to safety. Haunted by the memory of the children's blackened bodies, she emotionally tells how they "paid the price of their father's " arrogance and stupidity". Meanwhile, another resident on Victory Road reveals how she and her partner were called 'child murderers' in the street after cops held her and her partner for 72 hours - as shameless Philpott scrambled to pin the blame on THEM for his crimes. The furious locals paint a grotesque picture of the convicted mass killer, who we recently revealed was left "battered and bruised" in a brutal jail beating. In extraordinary detail, they tell how he acted with impunity, seeing himself saw himself as 'God's gift', and paraded up and down the street often dressed in little more than a pair of turquoise speedos. Dinner lady Pearl Turner was in her garden when she spotted her next-door neighbour, Philpott, setting up the ladders at the back of his home. Pearl, who lived next door to the family for several years, claimed that he'd planned to climb them once he'd set the house ablaze, and help pull his kids to safety. The dad - who had previously appeared on the Jeremy Kyle Show - had concocted the arson scheme to pin on former mistress Lisa Willis who he was due to face in court over access to his four kids with her. But in a tragic turn of events, he had forgotten to unlock their bedroom windows, leaving them trapped inside the burning building. Evil dad Mick Philpott who killed six children in a horror blaze left 'battered and bruised' in brutal jail beating The fire claimed the lives of Duwayne, 13, Jade, 10, John, nine, Jack, seven, Jesse, six, and Jayden, five. Only Duwayne, the eldest, managed to escape the house alive, before he too died from his injuries in hospital days later. Both Philpott and his wife Mairead, who supported his plan, were eventually arrested on May 29 2012, initially for murder, although charges were later changed to manslaughter. Haunting memories Thirteen years on, Pearl is still traumatised by the memory of seeing the five children's charred bodies laid out in a row in the street outside her home as firefighters tried in vain to save them. Now 78 and retired, she was still living next door to where the tragedy unfolded when The Sun revisited the scene of the killings. Breaking her silence on the horrific fire, she says: 'I'll never get the sight of them lying there out of my head." She shared heartbreaking details about the night of the fire but also offered insight into the extraordinary lengths Philpott had gone to in order to ensure he emerged as a hero. She added: 'I was in my garden the day before the fire and Philpott came home with two sets of ladders. 'He initially placed them against my wall at the back, then moved them off and positioned them very carefully underneath the two upstairs windows at the rear of his house. They were the children's bedrooms. 12 12 12 'As soon as I saw those two ladders leaning up against our wall, I knew the crafty sod was up to something, but never in a million years would I have worked out the evil plan he had in mind. 'I knew he hadn't brought the ladders home to do any DIY or a spot of house maintenance because he was useless and lazy. I'd never seen any ladders at his property before. 'As soon as I became aware their house was on fire, it became clear to me what his purpose with the ladders had been. He'd planned to use them to climb up to their windows and rescue them so he could play the hero. 'But he forgot the bedroom windows had locks on them and in the panic and chaos of the fire, with smoke everywhere, those poor children weren't able to open the windows and died. "They paid the price of their father's arrogance and stupidity. It was all such a needless, tragic waste. 'They were lovely, polite kids. They always waved at me when they saw me. If I was in the garden, they'd wave from their bedroom windows. 'On the day of the fire, I told the police about my suspicions over the ladders, but it took them weeks to arrest him. I've never really understood why. It was obvious to me what he'd done.' 'We were called child murderers' One of those arrested, a 41-year-old woman named Vicky, also told The Sun - in another first interview - how Philpott tried to frame her and her partner for the fire that left six children dead. Vicky, then aged 28, revealed how officers arrested her and her late partner Adam, then 38, who died last year, and took them to Ripley police station and held them for questioning for 72 hours. Through tears, Vicky said: 'We had been friends with Mick, Mairead and Lisa (Philpott's former live-in mistress) for some time and Mick used that friendship to try and save his own skin. 'When the police spoke to him on the day of the fire he told them me and Adam had started it. "As soon as they told me Mick had accused us of starting the fire, I knew it had to have been Mick himself who had done it. Why else would he have tried to put it on us? 'Even so, it took us three days to convince the cops we were innocent before they let us go, but when we got back people still believed we'd done it. 'We were getting called child murderers in the street and on social media. It was absolute hell for us. It went on for months and months. I am still traumatised by it. "Poor Adam is dead now but it was the same for him until the day he died. You just never get over it. 'The abuse only stopped when Philpott and the other two went to court and the details came out, but for me and Adam, the damage was already done. 'And those poor, poor children. Nothing could bring them back. 'Philpott was an obnoxious, self-centred b*****d who thought he was God's gift to everything. He killed his own children then tried to frame me and Adam - his friends - for it. That tells you what kind of man he is. 'I hope he is never released from jail. He is a monster and should die in there.' 12 12 Vicky said she remains close friends with Lisa, and is 'in touch' with her. 'Lisa has long since moved away from Derby and I would never tell anyone where she is now,' she said. Vicky also revealed that Mairead, who was released early from jail in 2023, has since changed her name and is living with a new partner. 'She is a monster too and should never have been let out early. Why should she be allowed to start a new life as if nothing happened?' 'Hope he never gets out' Speaking to those living in Victory Road now, it is notable how many locals' lives were interwoven with the Philpotts. Neighbour Martin's son was in a relationship with Philpott's daughter from his first marriage at the time of the tragedy. He said his son, then 18, had been one of the first to try and enter the burning building and rescue the children. Martin said: 'Before the fire crews arrived, my boy was there trying to get the kids out. "He saw the ladders at the back of the house and climbed up to try and get in through the window but the heat was so intense it was burning the hairs off his arms. His skin felt like it was on fire. 'He tried and tried to smash the windows but he just couldn't. It was awful. 'He knew the Philpotts because he'd been going out with one of Mick's daughters for about a year at the time. We all got to know Mick and his family quite well and we'd sometimes go round for dinner. 'I never really liked him because he was such a loudmouth, but I had to make the effort for the sake of my son and his girlfriend. 'To be honest, I thought Mick was a bit of a prat. He'd been on TV and thought of himself as a star. He really believed he was a film star. 'But I never thought for a moment he'd be capable of what he did. 'What happened put such a strain on my son's relationship with Mick's daughter that they broke up a year or so later. "My son was traumatised by the events of that night and he has struggled with his emotions to this day, although very recently he has started to open up a little. 'All of us around here just want to forget about Mick and that horrific day, but it is impossible. I hope he never gets out of prison.' Elsewhere in Victory Road, a 38-year-old mother told how her son was at school with several of the Philpotts' children. She recoils at the mention of Mick Philpott's name and tells how he 'made my skin crawl'. She said: 'I hated him on sight. He was a horrible, horrible man. 'He was friends with my ex-partner and he'd call round here to see him wearing nothing but a pair of tight, turquoise Speedos and a pair of trainers. 'He'd stand at our porch with one leg raised on the windowsill like he was God's gift, but all I saw was a fame-hungry w****r. He was utterly repulsive. 'I had nieces in their teens at the time and when they were here he'd be leering at them. It was disgusting. 'When they left to go back home, I'd go with them in case he tried to follow them. I just didn't trust him at all. 'I felt sorry for Mairead because she was completely under his thumb and did whatever he told her to. He treated her miserably. "Once I told her to stop being such a wet blanket and stand up to him, but she never did. If he told her to jump, she'd say 'How high?'. It was that kind of relationship. 'When she and Lisa were both pregnant, I remember the three of them walking back from town with loads and loads of bags full of shopping, but he made them carry it all. "He was walking ahead of them, empty-handed, in his stupid Speedos and nothing else. 'It was a weird set-up with the three of them. Between Mairead and Lisa, one of them was always pregnant. 'But even though I knew what an awful man he was, I was surprised he could kill his own children. I hope to God he is never allowed out of jail for what he did.' Battered and bruised Last month, The Sun revealed how Philpott was left with bruises and lumps on his head after an inmate battered him with a metal container at tough HMP Wakefield, West Yorks. A source said: 'Philpott was in a bad way after the attack – battered and bruised and with two large and noticeable lumps on the back of his head. 'The other lad pounced on him and whacked him quite a few times from behind. 'It was one bloke on his own – someone quite a bit younger than Philpott and it happened really quickly on the landing. 'There was a huge commotion, an alarm was going off and guards rushed in to help. 'Otherwise it could have been a lot worse for Philpott. 'Philpott was feeling very sorry for himself after the attack – but no-one had much sympathy. 'That is reserved for the children he killed."
