Shouts of hatred rained down on an unrepentant East Harlem murderer yesterday as he was slammed with a maximum sentence for the cowardly crime of shooting his ex in the head while she slept.
“You killed my godchild!” shouted one bereaved relative of tragic Sherra Morgenstern as her brutal killer, Edward Demirdjian, 58, was led away from a Manhattan courtroom to serve 25 years to life in prison.
“You f–king punk!” Norman Odum, 44, shouted. “I raised her and you murdered her! I know where you at for the next 25 years.”
Demirdjian shot dead the pretty 26-year-old in 2009 in her Jefferson Houses bedroom. He left Morgenstern to rot where she lay, all so he could keep custody of their 3-year-old daughter and get $250,000 in insurance, lead prosecutor Shanda Strain had argued.
