A Westchester county man serving probation for a gun charge was arrested for beating his 32-year-old ex-girlfriend to death in a fit of violence that lasted hours and only ended when he fled with the couple\u2019s 2-year-old son, authorities said Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Justin Bartley, 32, was arrested just hours after he allegedly left Roseberline Philippe dead inside a Days Inn motel in Elmsford, according to a lohud.com report<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Philippe met her child\u2019s father at room 230 in the motel on Valley Road off the Saw Mill River Parkway around 8:30 a.m. Sunday following a confrontation a day prior at the victim\u2019s West Chester home, where she lived with her parents, according to lohud.com.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t until 4:30 p.m. that day that footage shows Bartley fleeing the motel with his son, court documents show. Cleaning staff would later find the Philippe\u2019s body, lohud.com reported.<\/p>\n

Bartley, who is on probation for a gun conviction in Rockland County, fled to the Bronx, where he left the child with relatives and was arrested later that day by a task force involving Elmsford and county police and the FBI.<\/p>\n

A police investigation determined Bartley beat his ex for hours before she died, lohud.com reported.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe thought she was coming home,\u201d the victim\u2019s sister, Yvena Philippe, told lohud.com. \u201cBut I think he had a plan for her not to come home.\u201d<\/p>\n

Philippe, an office assistant at White Plains Hospital, met Bartley at Port Chester High School and fell in love with him years later, only to come to fear him following the birth of their son, her sister said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was so sweet and always laughing even if she was dealing with stuff,\u201d Yvena Philippe told lohud.com \u201cShe was a giver and he took advantage of her in that way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Westchester county man serving probation for a gun charge was arrested for beating his 32-year-old ex-girlfriend to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":29760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[128,262,263,266,85,267,9,24,264,12,63,261,265,129,131,130],"class_list":{"0":"post-29759","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-the-bronx","8":"tag-bronx","9":"tag-city","10":"tag-county","11":"tag-crime-and-public-safety","12":"tag-latest-headlines","13":"tag-local-news","14":"tag-new-york","15":"tag-new-york-city","16":"tag-new-york-county","17":"tag-news","18":"tag-nyc","19":"tag-nyc-crime","20":"tag-sub-county-region","21":"tag-the-bronx","22":"tag-the-bronx-headlines","23":"tag-the-bronx-news"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
