Double Murder in Clinton Hill

Two women who worked at a Chinese restaurant supply company - and lived in one of the back rooms - were found stabbed to death yesterday afternoon. The NY Times reports the victims as being 62 year-old Xiu Fang Jiang and 40-something Lan Jian Chan, and that both had been stabbed in the torso. Jiang's son went to the warehouse for Yong Heng, locasted at 208 Classon Avenue, when he learned his mother was not answering telephone calls, and found the the women around 5PM. The door to their bedroom seemed to be kicked in, and their bodies were faced down. A pizza deliveryman told reporters that he saw an Asian man "acting all disturbed" while another woman said she saw two men enter the warehouse earlier on Sunday.
