A 22-year-old New York man has been accused of killing his
mother in their upscale Manhattan apartment after she demanded
that he move out, court documents reveal.

Police believe that Jared Eng slit his mother Paula Chin's
throat in their Tribeca apartment on January 31, then stuffed
her body into her 2004 Land Cruiser and drove it to their
suburban home in Morristown, New Jersey before disposing of it
in a garbage can there, the New York Daily News reported.

Eng also allegedly enlisted the help of his girlfriend, 21-year-
old Caitlyn O'Rourke, and 18-year-old friend Jennifer Lopez to
dispose of his mother's body and clean up the crime scene, the
Daily News said. All three are facing charges of tampering with
physical evidence, and appeared in court on Thursday.

The criminal complaint alleges that Eng confessed to killing his
mother during a speaker phone conversation with O'Rourke and
Lopez, and admitted that she "took a while to die."

More charges are reportedly expected to be filed against Eng
once the autopsy on his mother is completed.

Concerns for Chin's safety began on Monday, when a relative
reported her missing to police. It took only one day for
authorities to find the widow's body in the trash at her
Morristown home, along with a bloody duffle bag filled with
clothes and tape.

Chin's husband Philip died in 2008 from unknown causes.

Sources told the Daily News that money issues regarding Eng's
inheritance after his father's death may have led to tensions
between himself and his mother, who was reportedly trying to
kick him out of the Tribeca apartment at the time of her death.

The criminal complaint alleges that Jared Eng confessed to
killing his mother during a speaker phone conversation with
O'Rourke and Lopez, and admitted that she "took a while to die."

After their conversation over speaker phone, O'Rourke and Lopez
allegedly helped Eng cover up the crime, cleaning up the Tribeca
apartment and laundering clothes at the Morristown home.

“It’s all clean,” Lopez said in a text, apparently referring to
the apartment. “The hardest part was backing up the car,” she
added.

O'Rourke, a student with Eng at SUNY in New Paltz, New York, was
reportedly recently accepted to a photography program at the
school.

O'Rourke's lawyer, Sarah Kaufmann, said that her client had no
connection to the actual killing of Chin. “There’s not even a
suggestion here she had anything to do with a more serious
crime,” she said. “This woman is a young person in a terrible
situation.” O'Rourke's father also reportedly refused to comment
on the situation, calling the media "fake news."

O'Rouke's bail is set at $25,000, and Lopez's at $100,000. Eng
is being held without bail, and his next court appearance is
Monday, Feb. 11. All three are being housed at Rikers Island
Correctional Facility.

When approached outside the 1st precinct stationhouse in Lower
Manhattan, Eng denied any connection to his mother's death.

“I love her very much. She gave me everything," he said.
