NYC wacko who allegedly bashed Central Park artist to death found not fit for trial

Jonathan Robles, 36, was found unfit to stand trial after a mental health evaluation, delaying his arraignment on a second-degree murder charge. Prosecutors say he admitted killing Central Park artist Lee Rogers, 63, and the court must now decide how the case will proceed.

Rogers, known for her wildlife watercolours, was found dead in a gazebo near the park’s boathouse on 27 September. The medical examiner attributed her death to blunt force trauma to the head; prosecutors said a bloodied, broken stick was found nearby. Robles remains in custody, and the parties are due back in court on 2 December.
