A Queens landlord accused of stabbing his girlfriend and two tenants to death told cops he “just snapped” after his partner mocked him about back rent and refused to pay her share, prosecutors said Wednesday.
In a statement to cops shortly after turning himself in, David Daniel blamed “stress” for Tuesday morning’s deadly outburst, an excuse he backed up a day later when he told reporters outside a Queens precinct that he had been under “a lot of pressure.”
Daniel showed up Tuesday at the 113th Precinct stationhouse and confessed that he “did something bad” inside his Milburn St. home in St. Albans, cops said.
Officers rushed to his home to find Coleen Caesar Fields, 51, dead in an upstairs bedroom. Two other victims, a man and a woman, were found dead in a basement apartment.
Investigators believe Daniel killed all three as part of an ongoing landlord-tenant dispute. The couple downstairs had not paid their rent since the start of the COVID pandemic, a police source said.
“I’m having trouble with my tenants, they haven’t paid rent in a long time,” Daniel said in a statement to cops, according to prosecutors. “I did a horrible thing, real bad.”
Officers at the precinct asked him if he had killed someone. Daniel replied, “Yes.”
“I just need some time, I was trying to see if I can get the bodies out because they didn’t want to come out,” he told the officers on Tuesday. “This morning it happened, everyone is there now.
“Tenants and the person I live with — everyone is dead, honestly,” he said. “The tenants are downstairs in the basement, one male, one female The backdoor leads upstairs to the bedroom.”
Then Daniel described the confrontation that led to the carnage.
“My partner began to mock me because I wasn’t doing anything about the payment,” he said. “She locked me out of the room and I told her we don’t have to share a room, but she has to pay $1,500 in rent. She refused to do that and I just snapped. I was just so angry from all the stress.”

All landlords should be outlawed.
He had 3 no good boozing freeloaders, poor guy lost his shit.
Its misery being a landlord with all these protections for deadbeats and ZERO for the homeowners.
Had homeless shelters been available the sheriff would have been able to throw them out. But NO, Illegals got to come first in NYC including free Central Park hotels with room service and homeless shelters.
Time for Bob “The Bike” Holden to introduce a new bill outlawing landlords.
They are a menace to society. First with rent extortion. Now murder?
