2 Cousins Charged In Greenwich Businessman Slaying

POSTED: 5:24 pm EDT March 22, 2008
UPDATED: 6:12 pm EDT March 23, 2008

Police in Greenwich, Conn., say they have made two arrests in connection with the death of a wealthy Greenwich real estate developer who was found slain in 2006 -- just days before he was to plead guilty to swindling banks, title companies and others out of tens of millions of dollars.

Andrew M. Kissel was found with his hands and feet bound, in the blood-splattered basement of his mansion in April 2006.

Kissel’s chauffeur, Carlos Trujillo, 47, was arrested Friday night and is charged with conspiracy to commit murder. He is being held on $1 million bond.

Police have also arrested his 21-year-old cousin Leonard Trujillo, of Worcester, Massachusetts, on charges of murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Police said Kissel, 46, appeared to have been stabbed several times.

Before moving to Greenwich, Andrew Kissel and his wife, Hayley Wolff Kissel, lived in a a co-op building on 74th Street near Third Avenue.

His death came just three years after his brother, Robert, a successful investment banker with Merrill Lynch in Hong Kong, was bludgeoned to death by his wife, Nancy. In that case, police said Nancy had one of her children give him a milkshake laced with sedatives. The killing was called the "milkshake murder" in the Hong Kong press.
