A Chelsea floral designer suffocated to death in 2012 after two male prostitutes bound and gagged him so tightly he couldn’t breathe, prosecutor Lanita Hobbs told a Manhattan jury Monday at the men’s murder trial.
Grifters Edwin Faulkner, 33, and Juan Carlos Martinez-Herrera, 35, allegedly killed John Laubach, 57, after a night of rough sex then ransacked his pad and fled to Florida.
They were busted a few days later with suitcases stuffed with Laubach’s China, antique silver, statutes and jewelry, Hobbs said.
Faulker admitted to cops that he inadvertently caused Laubach’s death when he choked him during consensual rough sex.
But Hobbs argued Laubach died after the men bound and gagged him with an electrical cord cut from a lamp and duct tape so they could rob him. The tape caused him to asphyxiate within minutes, she said.
