Son Kills Mother in Scarsdale
71-year-old Marian Green, a fixture in the Scarsdale community, was killed by her 26-year-old son Chester Green on July 5.
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 Wednesday afternoon virtually by Judge Erin McGoey. He is due back in court on Aug. 5. Green is remanded until then.
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 relationship 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.
Scarsdale Mayor Justin Arest said, “Marian Green was a passionate and unwavering advocate for residents with disabilities. She devoted well over a decade to the Village’s Council on People with Disabilities, including many years as its Chair, and, before that, chaired the C.H.I.L.D. committee (Children Having Individual Learning Differences), a network of Scarsdale families supporting students with learning differences. Her passing is a loss for the many residents she advocated for, and for this Village as a whole.”
Chester was a 2017 graduate of Scarsdale High School. The way in which he murdered his mother, by bludgeoning her and stabbing her to death, is rarely seen in Scarsdale or in Westchester.
Many Scarsdale residents posted on Facebook about Chester. “This is jarring. I knew Chester very well. Knew his mother as well. I don’t think I can say that I’m shocked.”
“I would always tell my mother that something was off with Chester,” said another.
Uncle from Mt. Vernon Kills His Niece in the Bronx
The Mt. Vernon community is mourning the death of Julia Anderson, 39, who was shot and killed in the Bronx-Mt. Vernon borders on July 13. Anderson worked as a caregiver for disabled people and was leaving her job around midnight when a moped pulled beside Anderson’s jeep and fired through the window.
Two days later, the NYPD arrested Michael Foster, 58, of Mt. Vernon and charged him with Anderson’s murder. A search of Foster’s home found a number of weapons, including an AR-15 rifle.
Foster was related to the woman he murdered. Julia Anderson was the niece of Michael Foster, and media reports claim that the reason for the killing was a two-family home owned by Foster’s mother, who died in 2023. Foster was passed over for the home in the will, and it was left to Julia Anderson.
In 2025, Foster claimed that Anderson forged his signature on a deed to the home, and Anderson was arrested by the Westchester DA. Eventually, the charges were dropped for a lack of evidence.
Anderson sued Westchester County for the wrongful arrest, pointing to the only piece of evidence used against her, the “unvetted statements of a known felon with a violent history and a personal vendetta.” The lawsuit was never resolved, and now Anderson is dead.
Foster has a criminal past. In 1988, he was charged in the drive-by shooting of Calvin Rees, the mother of NFL star and New Rochelle legend Ray Rice. Foster was convicted in 1991 of manslaughter and served 8 years. He was paroled in 1999.
After his release, Foster became employed in the hip-hop industry and worked as a road manager for two Yonkers-based rappers: Jadakiss and The LOX.
A Westchester woman with ties to North Castle and Yonkers was murdered in Ireland. Jamey Carney, 43, was a 2001 graduate of Byram Hill High School in Armonk. After that, she lived in Yonkers for a period of time before moving to Killarney, Ireland, with her daughter, Michaela.
The Carneys relocated to Ireland in 2021, and Jamie got a job in Ireland and raised her daughter. Both seemed happy in Ireland.
But on July 7, Jamey’s body was found by her daughter in their Killarney home. The autopsy found that she had been suffocated.
Her killer remained at large for a few days until the Gardai (Irish Police) deduced that the killer knew Carney and had prior knowledge of her home. An international manhunt resulted in the arrest of Ahmad Al-Saqar, 28, from Jordan.
Al-Saqar was Jamey’s boyfriend in Ireland when he arrived in the country as an asylum seeker.
Two GoFundMe pages have been created to raise money for Michaela. One GoFundMe account reads, “Supporting Michaela and the Carney Family-In the wake of the tragedy, Jamey’s mother, Kathy, and sister, Devon Bennett, immediately traveled to Ireland to comfort Michaela and coordinate with the Killarney Garda and social services. Their goal is to support Michaela as she grieves and help her remain in the land she and her mother loved so much.
“Jamey was an insanely caring human being who dedicated so much of herself, her energy, and her time to fighting for the rights of others. We grew up in New York, but she spent much of her best years with Michaela in Bergen County, NJ, in the States. But their true home, where they both truly felt they belonged, was the beautiful town of Killarney,” said Devon.
A second GoFundMe page has been set up by Jamey’s fellow graduates of the Byram Hills High School class of 2001. Titled, Classmates for Michael Carney. “Jamey Noel Carney Memorial Fund,” it states,
“Jamey Carney, who was an amazing person and lived in Armonk & went to Byram Hills High School, was found dead on July 7th in her home in Killarney, Ireland. She leaves behind a 13-year-old daughter, Michaela. It has now turned into a murder case, and her ex- boyfriend is now a person of interest.
“This fundraiser, which was started by her fellow classmates & friends, will be raising money to support Michaela and her family. 100% of the funds raised will go directly to her mother, Kathy, who is the direct beneficiary of this GoFundMe and will manage the funds for Michaela.”
Links to both GoFundMe pages are below. So far, more than $35,000 has been raised from both accounts.
