An enraged Bronx man was charged with murder after allegedly bashing his longtime partner in the head with a kitchen pot and smothering her with a pillow in their apartment Monday morning, police and sources said.
Jeffrey Kolin, 73, called 911 after the vicious attack on his 77-year-old companion at their apartment on Barnes Avenue and allegedly confessed to the crime, law enforcement sources said.
The NYPD received the call just before 7:30 a.m. and when officers arrived at the couple’s apartment they found Marsha Greenberg, unconscious and unresponsive.
She had suffered trauma to her head, police said.
Paramedics rushed Greenberg to Jacobi Hospital, but she was pronounced dead upon arrival.
Greenberg and Kolin had been in a rocky relationship for at least two decades, law enforcement sources said.
They had a history of domestic incidents dating back to 2005, with the most recent report taken by the NYPD on June 25, law enforcement sources said.
Kolin was charged with murder, manslaughter, two counts of strangulation and criminal possession of a weapon, police said.
