Families of the three men murdered by New York City\u2019s notorious hooker from hell<\/a> slammed her as a heartless brute Tuesday \u2014 after the diabolical fiend was slapped with a sentence that will land her behind bars for decades.<\/p>\n

Seven family members of the victims \u2014 Mario Paullan, Miguel Navez and Abrihan Fernandez \u2014 chose to remember their lost loved ones as men of good character in Manhattan Supreme Court, as they railed against Tabitha Bundrick, 39, for heinously duping her victims into ingesting fentanyl to rob them. <\/p>\n

The diabolical prostitute was hit with 27-years-to-life in prison after copping to the murders last month<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe took part of my heart,\u201d Fernandez\u2019s mom, Brigida Rodriguez, said while she pointed at Bundrick, as she fought through tears during an emotional victim impact statement.<\/p>\n

The grieving mother, who remembered her son as a college graduate, said he had come to the United States for a \u201cbetter future\u201d \u2014 but that ended when Bundrick drugged him with fentanyl on Feb. 25, 2024, in her third killing inside a Washington Heights apartment.<\/p>\n

\u201cHalf of my heart is missing because she doesn\u2019t have one,\u201d raged Brigida Rodriguez, who wore Fernandez\u2019s college ring that she claimed couldn\u2019t be pried off her son\u2019s hand by the crazed hooker.<\/p>\n

Manhattan Assistant District Attorney Dafna Yoran said Bundrick carried out a \u201cdeliberate and repetitive\u201d scheme by pumping her victims with fentanyl until they passed out \u2014 and then robbed their phones, money, watches, clothes and sneakers during an April 2023 to February 2024 spree. <\/p>\n

\u201cRobberies were the motive, fentanyl was the means and murder was the result,\u201d Yoran said.<\/p>\n

Bundrick claimed her first victim, Paullan, when she convinced the 42-year-old him and a pal to come back up to an apartment where they planned to trade cash for sex, prosecutors have said.<\/p>\n

Tabitha Bundrick is also serving a federal prison sentence after pleading guilty to narcotics distribution. Steven Hirsch for NY Post<\/p>\n

She then offered the men what she said was cocaine and repeatedly encouraged both to \u201cdo it again\u201d over and over, pressuring Paullan three times to keep taking the drugs, despite telling her he had never done drugs before, Yoran said.<\/p>\n

Paullan died at the scene, and his friend woke up in an empty apartment next to his pal\u2019s body, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy father was a happy man. He liked to joke and was very hard working, a man who loved his children who is no longer here,\u201d Paullan\u2019s daughter, Aylin, remembered during a speech in court.<\/p>\n

Five months after Paullan\u2019s death, Bundrick then met up with Navez, 39, went back to his apartment and laced cocaine with fentanyl.<\/p>\n

Paullan\u2019s daughter, Aylin, said her father was a \u201chappy man\u201d during her emotional remarks in court Tuesday. Steven Hirsch for NY Post<\/p>\n

His brother found his body \u2014 with his pants down around his knees \u2014 two days after the encounter, and many personal items missing from his apartment, prosecutors have said.<\/p>\n

In February 2024, Bundrick pulled off the act one final time when she drugged Fernandez, 34, inside his Manhattan apartment \u2014 where she was caught on surveillance footage hauling out several \u201cgiant laundry bags\u201d with sneakers, according to prosecutors.<\/p>\n

She was arrested that March and has also been charged federally \u2014 where she pleaded guilty to narcotics distribution and was sentenced to 13 years behind bars. She pleaded guilty<\/a> to three counts of murder in the second degree and one count of assault in the second degree on Sept. 8.<\/p>\n

Bundrick, who wore a big wooden cross on her neck, apologized to the families and blamed her drug addiction for their deaths \u2014 telling the court Tuesday that it caused her to \u201cmake bad choices and bad decisions just to get high.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her new state sentence will run concurrently with the federal sentence, according to Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Kathryn Paak.<\/p>\n

\u201cTabitha Bundrick\u2019s absolutely callous conduct has left three devastated families,\u201d Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement. <\/p>\n

\u201cToday in court, we heard powerful statements from the loved ones of the defendants victims, who are still mourning in anguish. I hope this prison sentence will allow for some measure of healing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Families of the three men murdered by New York City\u2019s notorious hooker from hell slammed her as a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":366329,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[3015,7317,6277,75,4327,57,9,56,63,65,64,5408,3209,58],"class_list":["post-366328","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york-city","tag-alvin-bragg","tag-drugs","tag-fentanyl","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-supreme-court","tag-metro","tag-new-york","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-nyc-headlines","tag-nyc-news","tag-prostitution","tag-sentencing","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366328","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=366328"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/366328\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/366329"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=366328"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=366328"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=366328"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
