Ex-con arrested for killing prostitute inside Bronx motel — and stabbing another woman hours earlier
A convicted rapist has been arrested for fatally stabbing a prostitute inside a Bronx motel — and with stabbing and wounding another woman just hours earlier, police sources said Monday.
Baron George, 38, was nabbed Dec. 5 in the brutal murder of Brizjel Kemp, whose body was found stabbed 31 times the morning of Nov. 22 inside a room at the Holiday Motel alongside the New England Thruway near Conner St. in Eastchester.
Kemp, 36, came from her home in upstate West Henrietta, near Rochester, where she has arrests for prostitution, to visit her 2-year-old son, who lives with his father in the Bronx.
At some point, sources said, George, a Bloods gang member whose arrest record dates back to a gunpoint robbery when he was 11 years old, used Slip the Game, an escort website, to pay Kemp for sex, sources said.
Video shows the suspect entering room 106 about 9:45 a.m., then leaving six minutes later, bloodied and with no shirt on as Kemp lay on the floor begging for help, sources said. George lives about a mile from the motel.
Baron was also charged with stabbing another woman less than seven hours earlier, at 3:25 a.m., on White Plains Road.
The woman, who also has a history of prostitution arrests, refused to give Baron oral sex in his car, at which point he allegedly attacked her, slashing her in the hand.
She ran off, sources said, but Baron caught up to her and stabbed her in the back and right arm, wounds for which she was hospitalized.
The same car, sources said, was seen on video at the motel.
It wasn’t clear why Baron killed Kemp.
Baron served three years in state prison for a 2006 conviction for second-degree rape. Such a charge involves a minor or someone mentally disabled, though details of that case were not immediately clear.
Baron has 11 other arrests.
His first one, in 1993, was for a Bronx gunpoint robbery when he was just 11, sources said. That case is sealed.
He had two other arrests before he was 15, for robbery and assault for a weapon. His other arrests include two for sex offenses, plus arrests for gun possession.
