Westchester County District Attorney Susan Cacace announced today that a Scarsdale man was charged with Murder in the Second Degree, a class A felony, in connection with the killing of his mother at their Fox Meadow home earlier this week. Chester Green, 26, was arraigned virtually Wednesday afternoon by Judge Erin McGoey. He is due back in court on Aug. 5. Green is remanded until his next court appearance.
DA Cacace said: “Like everyone in this county, I am shocked at the horrifying death of Marian Green and the manner in which she was killed. This tragedy is only further compounded by the familial relation between the victim and suspect in this case. My office has charged Ms. Green’s son in connection with her murder, and we will seek to ensure that justice is achieved for her through this prosecution. May she rest in peace.
“I would also like to recognize the dedicated work of all the detectives and investigators who have pored over this case non-stop since the discovery of Ms. Green’s body. Their steadfast work is what enabled us to bring today’s charges.”
Scarsdale Police Chief Steven DelBene said: “I would like to commend the work of my detectives, the Westchester County Police and the District Attorney’s Office for their careful investigation of this case.”
As alleged in a felony complaint filed with the court, between July 5 and July 7, the defendant caused the death of his mother, 71-year-old Marian Green, at their Fox Meadow home by stabbing and beating her multiple times about her body with a sharp object and with a blunt instrument.
The case was investigated by the Scarsdale Police Department, the Westchester County Department of Public Safety and the Criminal Investigators Squad within the DA’s Office. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant District Attorneys Brianna Ciuffi and Caroline Zicca and Bureau Chief Jonathan Strongin.
