She had no idea her john’s dead grandmother was less than two feet away, her body stuffed into a closet, a hooker testified today of cavorting naked in bed with accused killer Larry Davis.
Soft spoken lady of the night Nakeema Craig, 22, described in Manhattan Supreme Court the alcohol and liquor fueled tryst in the dead granny’s Harlem apartment.
Prosecutors asked Craig whether at any point she realized the corpse of Cora Davis, 76, was rotting in a nearby closet. “No, I didn’t smell anything,” she answered.
Larry is charged with bludgeoning his grandmother to death and stashing her corpse in her bedroom closet – all the while commencing a two day romp with a prostitute in her bed.
In a creepy twist, Craig recalled how Larry produced two fur coats and told her to wear one for their run to the liquor store. “He wanted me to wear it because it would be warm,” she testifed.
He also brought out several pairs of shoes and asked her to try them on.”They looked brand new, they were in a white box and looked like church shoes,” she said. At the time, she didn’t realize the furs or shoes belonged to the dead granny.
The party came to an abrupt end in March 2011 when Cora’s son and nephew showed up at the apartment and found half-naked Craig and Larry in his grandma’s bed. “I didn’t have my shirt on and was covering myself with a blanket,” she said. “They kept yelling where is she, where is she?”
Larry bolted, leaving his forlorn lover, who only learned of the dead body when cops searched the apartment and found it stuffed in the closet head first.
“I saw the people come to take the body,” she said.
Davis wasn’t in the courtroom during the testimony today. He refused to emerge from his holding cell after what prosecutors described as a “faux suicide attempt” involving his shoe laces this morning. He went silent when Judge Gregory Carro and his defense attorney Bryan Konoski tried to communicate with him.
Last year, Davis was convicted of the 2010 murder of Brooklyn cross-dresser Richard “Denise” McCoy and sentenced to 25 to life.
