Russell Defreitas Blast Planning Suspect


Russell Defreitas, as reported by his acquaintances has left his job several years back as a cargo worker. From then onwards he is struggling for mere existence by either collecting welfare or selling incense sticks on the corner of the streets, sometimes spending the night in a train and sometimes trying to run two-bit scams to make a living for him.

He has been unable to collect enough money that would help him find his estranged daughter or put down any real roots for the past several years. He is currently is 63 years of age who once with his saxophone prowess elated jazz connoisseurs. According to many reports given by the people who knew Russell Defreitas said that he wasnt a kind of a person who would have made plans to blow the fuel pipeline at the Kennedy Airport.

One of his former neighbors Trevor Watts whom he knew in Brooklyn said that Russell Defreitas was a person for whom Trevor had to start the car once it wouldnt start. He also mentioned him as a trickster. Andrew Carter is his attorney as appointed by the court. More than 25 years back he had moved to New York from Georgetown, Guyana which was his native place as informed by his friends.

For several years Russell Defreitas has been estranged from his only daughter and his wife with whom he once used to live in Rockaway as told by his friends. At the Kennedy Airport he was hired by one of the cargo transportation company after he moved to New York. Evergreen Eagle which was a subsidiary of Evergreen International Aviation based in Oregon has employed him in 2001 in the post of a trainee supervisor.

One of the acquaintances who currently reside in Queens who knew Russell Defreitas from the time they used to stay at Georgetown said that in Guyana Russells father was a popular and well known big-band leader. At many jazz clubs therefore Defreitas played saxophone.

Many of the people who heard him playing at the jazz clubs said that he was very good. However Trevor Watts who had met the suspect when they lived on Albany Avenue in Brooklyn across the street from each other almost 10 years back said that Russell Defreitas was a hapless hustler at his core and he was always looking for an angle.

Russell Defreitas wore a back brace after he was injured in a car accident with a gypsy cab and from then on he started collecting welfare benefits. As told by Watts, Defreitas had also come to him asking for help when he became homeless and unemployed and he had no place to go. Much of the money that he made was by shipping car parts and junk appliances as said by the acquaintances. Newsday
