The Crown Heights man who confessed to the kidnapping and killing of landlord Menachem Stark was ordered held without bail during his arraignment on a second-degree murder charge Thursday.
Kendel Felix, 26, of Montgomery Street, clad in a black jacket, dark jeans and sneakers, didn’t speak during the brief proceeding in Brooklyn Criminal Court.
But the victim’s brother, Yitzy Stark, said through tears that Stark’s family was relieved that there had finally been an arrest in Jan. 2 killing.
“We can’t bring him back, but there is good closure and everybody knows the truth,” he said. “But our family will never be the same.”
The suspect admitted to detectives he was one of the two kidnappers who snatched Stark, 39, a married father of seven whose body was later torched and left in a dumpster on Long Island.
