Two men were arrested yesterday for the murder of Connecticut real estate mogul Andrew Kissel, cops said.
Kissel’s chauffeur, Carlos Trujillo, 47, of Bridgeport, was picked up Friday night in Stratford after a nearly two year investigation into the brutal stabbing death at the businessman’s Greenwich estate, and charged with conspiracy to commit murder.
Detectives – along with DEA agents – caught up with Trujillo as he was driving on a highway just before 10 p.m. He was taken into custody without incident, authorities said.
He is being held on $1 million bond in Greenwich. If he doesn’t make bond, he will appear in Stamford court on Monday.
Also arrested was another man, Leonard Trujillo, 21, of Worcester, Ma, who was charged with murder and conspiracy, cops said.
It was not immediately clear how or if the men are related.
Leonard Trujillo is being held without bond in Worcester and is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
“While I am proud of the hard work done by my detectives in this investigation, it is far from over,” said Greenwich Police Chief David Ridberg. “There is still a lot of information to be gathered and facts to be discerned.”
Police did not say what led to the break in the investigation or what the motive might be.
Kissel was found stabbed to death in April 2006 my moving company workers at his home.
