The 25-year-old party boy surrogate son of celebrity jeweler and his accomplice have appeared in court where they were charged with murdering a man who allegedly rejected their sexual advances.
James Rackover is accused of killing 26-year-old Joseph Comunale over the weekend in his apartment in Manhattan. Lawrence Dilione, 28, of Jersey City, New Jersey, has also been charged with murder.
Both men appeared in a Manhattan courtroom on Thursday evening where a judge set their bond at $3million each.
They were both charged with second-degree murder, concealment of a human corpse and tampering with physical evidence they allegedly stabbed Comunale 15 times and then tried to burn his body with gasoline on Sunday.
Dilione is also facing an additional charge for hindering prosecution.
The motive for the horrific attack is still under investigation, but sources told the New York Daily News that the killing happened after Comunale rejected the sexual advances of one of the men inside the swanky Manhattan apartment.
The walls in Rackover's apartment were splattered with blood according to police, who also found bleach that appeared to have been used to clean the scene.

Rackover, 25, (pictured center) is accused of killing Comunale over the weekend in his swanky Manhattan apartment. He is pictured being led out in a suit at New York's 13th Precinct

Suspect two: Lawrence Dilione, 28, is escorted from the 13th precinct in Manhattan to face charges that include second degree murder
Quote:
James Rackover was born James Arthur Beaudoin in Florida, and was arrested multiple times for burglary, armed robbery, and drug possession.
A 2009 burglary led to his arrest and a plea deal in which he was sentenced to six years behind bars. It is unclear when he was released from prison and how much time he served for the offense.
At some point after his release, Beaudoin met Jeffrey Rackover, moved into his New York City apartment building, and changed his name to James Rackover.
Then, on Sunday, police suspect that James may have been with Joseph Comunale before he was murdered.
James' criminal history begins in August of 2007, when he was charged with armed robbery, attempted robbery and possession of less than 20 grams of cannabis in Broward County.
Then, in January of 2009 he was charged with burglary of an unoccupied dwelling, again in Broward County.
For that arrest he was also charged with violating his probation.

Quote:
He left Broward County and his criminal past behind however to travel north to New York, where he found a new home in Jeffrey Rackover's multimillion dollar apartment.
James was later given his own apartment in the same building, which is where police believe the grizzly murder of Comunale occurred this weekend.
Jeffrey treated James as the son he never had and allowed him to formally use his name.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're just writing in the gay angle to this.

This is so weird. They're both attractive men who could have their pick of men. Why would they kill a guy because he rejected them? Are they really that insecure?

because they're crazy and would kill people for incredibly minor reasons, this just happened to be the reason that popped up.

The first thought that comes to mind is coke, that can make people all kinds of stupid and overreactive things.
Horrible, RIP to Joseph.
