Lowery describes purported breaking point in murder confession

Natavia Lowery, the accused killer of the late super-broker Linda Stein, allegedly crumbled during an interrogation, police testified in court today. During her statement to the police, Lowery reportedly confessed to the murder and recanted an earlier statement about a purported black-clad male killer she had contended was responsible for the slaying. The taped confession, which cops recorded 10 days after Stein’s death, has been the subject of considerable controversy over the course of the investigation, with Lowery maintaining that the statement was coerced and false. During the statement, Lowery claimed that Stein had pushed her to a breaking point, at which she snapped and bludgeoned the victim in the head with a three-foot-long yoga stick, before cleaning off the murder weapon and leaving the scene.
