A Long Island woman hired for sex via Craigslist was bludgeoned to death with a hammer when her unhinged client didn’t want to pay, authorities said Thursday.
The 25-year-old woman, who was not immediately identified, linked up with suspect Raphael Oyague, 36, after meeting him on the classifieds posting site on Tuesday night, a Nassau County Police Department spokesman said.
At some point during the carnal quid-pro-quo, an argument over compensation led Oyague to attack the victim with a hammer, Nassau County Det. Lt. Richard Le Brunk said.
Two delivery workers found the woman’s battered body in the weeds behind Oyague’s apartment building on Merrick Rd. in Baldwin shortly before 1 p.m. on Wednesday, authorities said. Detectives later found a trail of blood leading from the body to the vicinity of Oyague’s back door, where they cuffed the alleged killer, officials said.
Oyague, who has prior arrests for criminal contempt of an order of protection, assault and DWI, was awaiting arraignment on murder charges.
Police said the family of the victim, who is from Long Island, had not yet been notified of the killing.
