Son Indicted For Allegedly Killing Mom In Tribeca

TRIBECA, NY — The 22-year-old son accused of slashing his mother's throat and taking her body to New Jersey was indicted on second-degree murder charges Monday, according to the New York Post.

Jared Eng slashed his mother's throat in their Tribeca home on Vestry St., according to prosecutors.

His mother, Paula Chin, 65, was reported missing on Feb. 4. Days later, she was found dead in her second home in New Jersey.

Eng, along with two women reported to be his girlfriends, Jennifer Lopez, 18, and Caitlyn O'Rourke, 21, were arrested for concealment of a corpse.

Eng was indicted on second degree murder and other charges, according to The Post.

The Post reported that Lopez was indicted on charges related to the alleged cover-up. O'Rourke's has not yet been indicted, according to The Post.

Last Friday, the Medical Examiner determined Chin died after being hit in the head several times and stabbed in the neck. The three allegedly hauled Chin's body out of her Manhattan apartment in a garbage bag and dumped her in the trash at the woman's New Jersey home, according to reports.

Eng is suspected of fighting with his mother over his deceased father's fortune that was left to Chin, which Eng told The Post is $10 or $11 million. Eng denied to The Post that he killed his mother over the money and said he and his mother had argued over her declining health.

Eng's next court date is Feb. 27.
