A former NYPD officer is now behind bars after allegedly murdering his own mother with a machete.
According to a news release from Queens’ District Attorney Melinda Katz, Osvaldo Diaz (pictured above) is facing 25 years to life in prison if convicted on murder and other charges filed Thursday. The DA alleges that he “attacked his mother with a machete –- to the point of near-decapitation.”
Katz said the attack took place on February 24, 2021, in an apartment that the man and his 78-year-old mother, Maria Diaz, shared above a beauty salon in Queens.

The 46-year-old man’s sister had apparently planned to run errands and take a walk with her mother, but when the sister arrived at the apartment and called her mother’s cell phone several times, there was no answer. Eventually, Diaz answered and told his sister to run errands alone. She later returned, only to be again met with unanswered calls.
Now suspicious, she asked the landlord to be brought into the apartment. Inside, she found her mother’s bleeding body wrapped in bedding, and her brother nowhere to be found. The indictment noted that video surveillance recorded Diaz leaving the apartment after his sister left for the store. A large knife was also recovered at the scene.
Maria was declared dead at the scene. Prosecutors say the suspect was on the run for a week before he was found and caught in New Jersey. He stayed there until he was brought back to Queens last week for his arraignment on a charge of second-degree murder. He also faces two counts of fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

The former digital editor-in-chief of the New York Post is suing the media outlet, its former top editor Col Allan and New York Post Group editor Keith Poole for sexual harassment and retaliation for reporting her accusation. Gotthelf, who worked with the NY Post for 20 years before being terminated last Wednesday, filed suit Tuesday saying that in 2015 Allan sexually propositioned her by saying “we should sleep together.” She said that the proposition was after years of other sex-based harassment and abuse, including Gotthelf witnessing Allan harass and degrade women by referring to them as “skanks, “stupid women” or “sneaky lesbian” and further humiliating Gotthelf in front of her male peers.
