'I chopped her up' : Utica man charged with murdering grandmother, landlord | WHAM

A Utica man is facing murder charges in the deaths of his grandmother and landlord.

Naythen Aubain, 29, was released from the hospital Tuesday and was arraigned Tuesday evening on two counts of murder in the 1st Degree.

“One of the aggravating factors is multiple homicides, so if you kill more than one person within the same criminal transaction that makes a 'Murder Second' into a Murder in the First," Oneida County District Attorney Scott McNamara said.

Aubain was brought into his arraignment wearing a spit shield and was forced into a restraining chair during it.

He interrupted the judge several times, saying:

I did it. I chopped her up.

I’ll chop anyone up who disrespects Jesus Christ.
