«Breaking News» Former correction officer and his girlfriend are charged with beating the woman's mother to death

A former New York City correction officer and his girlfriend have been charged with murder, two years after the pair allegedly beat the woman’s mother with a barbell. 

Nassau County police say 27-year-old Ralph Keppler and 21-year-old Francesca Kiel, both of Lynbrook, Long Island, brutally attacked 56-year-old Theresa Kiel at her Long Beach apartment on the night of December 4, 2016.

The victim lost her right eye and multiple teeth, had a portion of her skull shattered and remained in a vegetative state until she succumbed to her injuries at North Shore Manhasset Hospital on Saturday evening.

Theresa Kiel, 56 (pictured), passed away on Saturday, nearly two years after being beaten into a coma with a barbell at her Long Island apartment 

In the wake of Mrs Kiel’s death, her daughter and Keppler were charged with second-degree murder. Keppler had been charged back in late January with attempted murder and assault and was out on bail. His lawyer says he's innocent.

'Theresa Kiel was robbed of all quality of life when this defendant allegedly shattered her skull with a metal barbell as she walked to her Long Beach apartment,' Nassau District Attorney Madeline Singas said in a press release from February 2018 announcing Keppler's indictment on the initial charges, which have now been upgraded. 

'This barbaric attack, allegedly motivated by a business dispute and perpetrated by a man employed as a corrections officer, has left Ms. Kiel in a persistent vegetative state, and prosecutors in my office are committed to holding this defendant accountable.' 

Prosecutors alleged that Keppler had accused Theresa Kiel and her son, Vincent, of swindling him out of $350,000 that he had given them to develop a new dating app, according to ABC Eyewitness News. 

Kiel (pictured being loaded into an ambulance) was struck in the face with such force that a portion of her skull caved in and she lost her right eye 

Prosecutors say Francesca and her former correction officer boyfriend attacked Mrs Kiel over a business dispute 

According to a lawsuit filed by Keppler in May 2016, Theresa and her son spent the former prison guard’s money on cosmetic surgeries, a luxury car, hair salon appointments and clothes, reported the New York Post.

Theresa Kiel’s family, in turn, filed court documents accusing Keppler of holding Francesca ‘as a financial, emotional and sexual hostage.’

The complaint, which was dismissed by a judge in December 2017, claimed that Keppler monitored Francesca’s phone and email, forced her to get breast implants and coerced her into saying that her own mother was prostituting her.

Keppler had been out on bail, but was re-arrested on Sunday.

During their arraignment on Monday, both Keppler and his girlfriend were ordered held in jail without bail.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
