Asun Thomas has been sentenced to 25 years in prison for the killing of Luz Miriam Perez, a mother-of-two.
The incident occurred in October 2019, when Thomas attacked Perez in her Bronx apartment, leaving her two young children alone in the home for a day. The two-year-old daughter and five-year-old son had to make peanut butter sandwiches to survive until a passerby noticed them banging on the windows for help and called 911.
The children were unharmed and taken to Perez’s relatives, and Thomas surrendered to police on Christmas Eve of that year. Initially, investigators were unsure of the cause of death due to the absence of stab wounds. However, Thomas was charged with murder and held without bail.
Thomas was sentenced on October 12 of this year to 25 years in prison for a first-degree manslaughter charge. It was revealed that he and Perez were acquaintances, but the details of their relationship were not immediately known. However, Perez’s son, now 9 years old, testified against Thomas to ‘get justice’.
Thomas had a previous manslaughter conviction from 2000 and had been released on parole in 2016, after serving 16 of his 20-year sentence from that case. His latest sentence will mean he will serve a total of 41 years in prison for his heinous crimes.
