Billy Chemirmir The Murder Suspect Of Elderly Lady: Who Is He?
Billy Chemirmir, a suspected serial killer who is 49 years old and is accused of killing over a dozen elderly people, has been indicted on four counts of capital murder. The charges against him carry the death penalty.
A grand jury in the state of Texas has indicted him on charges related to the homicides that occurred in 2017 in the states of Marilyn Bixler, Diane Delahunty, Helen Lee, and Mamie Dell Miya.
Since Colin County prosecuted him in November 2021 for the killings of five old people and in April of this year for the death of Lu Harris, this is his third trial since the charges were brought against him. The first trial was thrown out because of a decision of 12-1 in favor of acquittal. In addition to the three trials that are now taking place, Billy is suspected of murdering a dozen additional women in Dallas County.
Billy Chemirmir posed as a caregiver in order to approach elderly women as his victims
Formerly a caregiver, Chemirmir made the journey from Kenya to the United States in 2003 in the hopes of finding better job possibilities. His father, a prosperous farmer, had 28 children, and Chemirmir is the 28th of those children. Before beginning a career in caregiving, Chemirmir was employed in the automotive industry as a salesman.
The authorities claim that Chemirmir’s victims were elderly women who lived alone in autonomous villages. After entering their homes under the guise of a health care provider, he proceeded to murder them by suffocating them and then stole their valuables after the murders.
Chemirmir continues to insist that he is innocent, stating that he was simply in the wrong location at the wrong time.
The indictments are discussed by members of the families of four victims.
The COVID protocols were relaxed in light of the serious nature of the trial, and the victims’ families were permitted to sit in on the proceedings. After his indictment, representatives of the families of the four victims discussed their reactions to the news:
“These indictments are an additional step toward holding Billy Chemirmir accountable for the comprehensive scope of the heinous crimes he committed. We would like to express our gratitude to the law enforcement officials and the prosecutors for taking our comments into consideration and for their ongoing efforts to ensure that all of the victims and the people who care about them receive justice.”
During the course of the trial, District Attorney Greg Willis of Collin County stated:
“Today I am delighted to announce that the Grand Jury of Collin County has indicted Billy Chemir for four additional charges of capital murder,” said the prosecutor of the Collin County district attorney’s office.
He continued by saying:
These indictments should serve as a reminder that every victim of a violent crime deserves to have their case investigated and prosecuted, and that law enforcement and prosecutors in Collin County will work tirelessly every day to ensure that violent offenders are held accountable for their actions.
A relative of one of the fatalities, Cliff Harris, made the following statement:
According to Harris, “I was sitting right there behind Billy Chemirmir the whole time, and I gotta tell ya, you just knew, you could sense evil there, and you could see the horrific things that he’s done.”
Chemirmir was found guilty of the murder of Lu Harris, and he was immediately given a sentence of life in jail without the chance of release. It is currently unknown whether he has made any sort of plea in connection with the additional allegations.
