Stein killer gets life
By CMU Editorial | Published on Tuesday 4 May 2010
Natavia Lowery, the women found guilty of murdering one time Ramones manager Linda Stein, has been handed a minimum of 32 years in jail.
As previously reported, Lowery was working for Stein, and it’s thought she bludgeoned her boss to death after being confronted about stolen money. The PA initially claimed to have witnessed a mysterious man kill Stein, but later confessed to the murder on tape. Though she subsequently withdrew that confession, and in court yesterday continued to proclaim her innocence.
When Stein’s family criticised Lowery for not expressing regret for her crime, she said she had nothing to apologise for and that “my innocence will continuously remain”. In a brief statement delivered prior to her sentencing Lowery pledged to appeal. However, the judge hearing the case said he was confident the guilty verdict against Lowery was sound, describing the defendant as “almost inhuman”.
After some prominent projects in the music business, most notably as manager of The Ramones, Stein later built a second career as an estate agent to the stars.
