The man accused of murdering “American Idol” executive Robin Kaye and her husband was a “neighborhood junkie” who terrified his neighbors with “junkie” his antics, local told The Post.
Raymond Boodarian, 22, lived just 13 minutes from the $4.5 million Encino home where 70-year-old Kaye and her husband were executed during a suspected break-in last week.
“We had a lot of problems with him because he’s taking drugs. Every now and then he would be outside high,” said 80-year-old Madlen Amrani. “The neighbors complained and they come and arrest him.”
Boodarian would also bring other junkies around and get high with them on the block.
“I’m afraid. I’m frightened of them,” Amrani told The Post.
Boodarian was arrested Tuesday after the body of Kaye and her husband, 70-year-old Thomas DeLuca, were found in their home with fatal gunshot wounds to the head.
Photos from the arrest obtained by TMZ showed a shirtless Boodarian with his hands behind his back outside his home, and a large group of police in body armor surrounding him.
He reportedly has arrests for at least three cases of criminal battery, and police were able to use his fingerprints on file and security footage to connect him to the murders, the outlet reported.
He is suspected of breaking into their heavily fortified $4.5 million mansion on Thursday, and then gunning the couple down when they came home and walked in on them.
Another neighbor – who also said Boodarian would often wander around the street stoned – said that she saw his arrest on Tuesday, and said that he came out without a fight.
