A Chicago tenant has been convicted of first-degree murder for the death of her landlord, who she killed and dismembered after getting served an eviction notice in 2022. After a while of investigating the police reports that on Monday a jury found Sandra Kolalou guilty of murder and multiple other charges, including dismembering a body. She was 37 and arrested October 22 in connection to the death of Frances Walker, a 69-year-old landlord whos' body was found in the freezer. After the police spoke with a tow truck driver, they tied Kolalou to the murder case. The truck driver gave them the location and said the person he witnessed pulled out a knife.
Police also found bloody towels in a garbage can outside of her building. She was convicted of a few more charges like concealing a homicidal death and aggravated identity theft. They found out her actions while killing the old man, which she dumped a large plastic bag in a garbage can at Foster Beach. Later on they went into the residence and eventually discovered the body in the freezer. She was sentenced to life in prison without a possibility of parole.
Most murders kill due to uncontrollable anger, revenge, financial gain or mental illnesses. These feelings can be conscious or even unconscious, but it depends on the reason and the person committing the crime. The victims tend to have things in common such as demographic profile, appearance, career, gender, race and even age. There have been many questions asked about whether people are born killers or whether environmental factors are the cause or possibly an influence. Most people believe that it’s a combination of both. After the verdict was read after six days and more than seven hours of deliberations, Kolalou remained stoic.
In closing arguments, prosecutors reviewed the evidence and Kolalou’s behavior after Walker went missing. One of Kolalou’s defense attorneys told Jurors Walker’s husband and another tenant that the opportunity and motive to get rid of Walker was extreme. The defense alleges and bias in the investigation, argue that they can’t show that their client committed any of those crimes because their client is innocent. Post-trail motions and sentencing were set for June 20th. Before they retreated into deliberating the room, they heard Kolalou insist from the stand that she was framed for Walker’s death.
