The man accused of killing a Williamsburg businessman appeared for the first time in criminal court today.
Kendel Felix, 26, is facing second-degree murder and kidnapping charges in the death of Menachem Stark in January.
Police say Felix confessed to kidnapping Stark, who died after being abducted. The Nassau County medical examiner determined that he died from asphyxiation.
The body of Stark was found in a dumpster on Long Island. Investigators say that the 39-year-old was abducted by two suspects outside his realty office in Williamsburg.
In surveillance video, Stark is seen struggling with two people and then forced into a van.
News 12 has learned that more people are also being questioned in connection to the murder.
Felix is expected to be back in court on Monday.
