Alleged hammer killer also stabbed his mother: prosecutor
The Long Island man who brutally bludgeoned to death his mother, sister and her friend with a hammer also used a knife to stab his mom multiple times, a prosecutor said in court Sunday.
Prosecutor Ani Pulaski said Bobby Vanderhall, 34, “used a hammer to viciously attack and bludgeon to death three female victims” on Saturday.
“During the attack on his mother, he also used a knife to stab her multiple times,” Pulaski added.
The suspect’s uncle, 70-year-old Leon Alexander, said “some of everything” is wrong with his nephew.
“He’s a big, strong kid,” he said. “Once, when things got out of hand, it took six guys to take him down.”
The 230-pound Vanderhall wore a grey hooded jumpsuit during his five-minute arraignment in a courtroom in Nassau County District Court in Hempstead that was packed with victims’ family members.
