Violent crime creeps into every corner of New York City.
Indian prince Chitresh “Teddy” Khedker, 57, and his socialite wife, Nenescha, 70, were found dead in their luxurious apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan on April 12, 1993, according to New York Homicide, airing Saturdays at 9/8c p.m. on Oxygen.
“There weren’t any gunshots. There weren’t any stab wounds,” former New York City Police Department Detective Marc Slender said in the true crime show's “Royal Bloodshed” episode. He added that, by then, the victims “were starting to decompose.”
The housekeeper who discovered the bodies around 11 a.m. that Monday morning informed police that, “Teddy was a prince from India,” Slender said. “The wife came from money as well and was originally from South America.”
Between the royal lineage and the couple's wealthy Park Ave. address, investigators faced a “high-profile case,” Slender said.
Before the investigation was resolved, two more murder victims and a horrifying crime scene would be tied to it.
