Jurors convicted a Brooklyn woman on Tuesday of fatally knifing her boyfriend inside his South Jamaica home, then dousing him in bleach to cover her tracks in September 2012.
Anna Adams, 41, was found guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree criminal possession of a weapon, tampering with physical evidence and endangering the welfare of a child, according to Queens District Attorney Richard A. Brown.
Prosecutors said Adams repeatedly stabbed Jeffrey Perkins, 46, on the body inside his home on 145th Street near 133rd Avenue shortly before 6 a.m. on Sept. 5, 2012. Following the gruesome murder, she covered his body in bed sheets, then doused it all in bleach in an attempt to remove any evidence of her involvement.
“This was a brutal killing and a particularly bloody crime scene,” Brown said. “There were blood trails throughout the house and even outside.”
According to court records, Adams called 911 following the attack, and responding officers from the 113th Precinct found blood all over the interior and exterior of the home. Perkins’ body was found lying face up on the lower level with multiple stab wounds to his back, neck and head.
Blood-stained and bleach-soaked sheets and blankets were found underneath him, as well as a shoe, which matched the one Adams was wearing at the scene. She was taken into custody and informed detectives that she stabbed her boyfriend.
Sentencing is scheduled to take place on April 11; Adams faces 25 years to life in prison.
