When Manos Ikonomidis, 20, of Brooklyn, New York, had the chance to participate in a threesome with a woman and his friend, Jack Doherty, 21, he thought it was his lucky day. Unfortunately, while the action was hot and heavy, the female member of the sex party got mad when she noticed Ikonomidis trying to film the encounter on his phone. That’s when she called a stop to the action and left the apartment and was driven back to her home in Staten Island by Doherty, according to the Staten Island Real-Times News.
But what she did next led to the brutal killing of Ikonomidis. It is being reported that she called her boyfriend, Christopher Membreno, 24, and told him she had been raped by Ikonomidis. Her boyfriend became enraged and went to the apartment building where the threesome took place. Membreno and some of his friends spotted Ikonomidis and chased him with baseball bats, which was captured on surveillance cameras.
When the vigilantes caught their target, they began brutally beating him with the bats. Membreno then stabbed Ikonomidis four times in the chest and once in the back. Ikonomidis was transported to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries. Membreno confessed to the crime and was charged on Tuesday with murder and criminal possession of a weapon.
According to police, they have no reason to believe the threesome was not consensual between the parties involved. Membreno was not a participant in the action nor was he present at the apartments when his girlfriend claimed she was raped. Authorities are looking for the other three additional suspects who participated in beating Ikonomidis. The case is under investigation and there is no word on how the police are treating the alleged victim for her role in instigating the attack.
