The Hudson County corrections officer charged in the shooting deaths of his girlfriend & her best friend in Newark confessed the killings to a police officer before he was arrested.
John Menendez, 23, of West New York, is charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths Tuesday night of his girlfriend Anna Shpilberg & her best friend Luiza Shinkarevskaya, both 40 & Morris County residents. The women were found fatally shot in the head in different parts of Newark. They had just returned home from a trip & Menendez picked them up at Newark airport.
Shpilberg was found dead in the passenger seat of her car near Bruen Street & Edison Place near Newark Penn Station. Menendez, who had blood on him, walked up to a city police officer sitting in his patrol car near the scene, according to an affidavit of probable cause.
“I killed both of them. Just arrest me, bro,” Menendez allegedly told the officer. When the officer read Menendez his rights & handcuffed him, the suspect made further admissions, according to the affidavit.
“This is crazy. I can’t believe I did this,” Menendez told the officer.
In a recorded interview, Menendez told detectives he was angry that Shpilberg had gone on vacation without him, according to the affidavit.
“Both women had just been on vacation & Menendez said that Anna had been ignoring his calls,” police wrote in court records. “He said he lost it & killed them.”
