NEW YORK—The knife-wielding handyman accused of stabbing his married lover dozens of times during a lethal late-night fight inside her Queens home was living illegally in the United States, immigration officials said Friday.
David Bonola, held in custody after a Thursday night court appearance in Queens, was named in a detainer notice filed by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in Queens Central booking. The murder suspect arrived in the United States about 20 years ago.
“ICE focuses its civil immigration priorities on the apprehension and removal of non-citizens who pose a threat to our national security, public safety and border security,” said an ICE spokesman.
