VILE ATTACK: HOTEL BOSS DERRICK PRAILEAU GUILTY

SICKO

INNOCENT

A SICKO housekeeping manager at one of New York's most exclusive hotels has pleaded guilty to strangling a resident to death during a drunken sex attack. Derrick Praileau admitted to cops that he was boozed up when he started skulking around the Big Apple's Essex House hotel and condo building, hunting a woman to attack.
Eventually he settled on a victim Andree "Sara" Bejjani, a VP of a property investment firm who had just moved to the city from Dubai.

Praileau is thought to have entered her home, held a knife to her throat while she lay in bed and attempted to sexually assault her.
But Bejjani  fought off the attack and was stabbed and strangled.
He body was found by a maid, face down, nude from the waist down, her nightgown had been pulled up, her throat was slashed, she had a jump rope tied around her neck and there was a 10 inch serrated bread knife stuck in the back of her neck.
Praileau was arrested within hours.
Sara's devastated brother Joe told the NY Daily News afterwards: "I don't really care about the sentence - my sister's life is gone.
"Nothing will bring her back. I'm glad he confessed - finally."
