Couple indicted for murder of woman’s ex at Long Island yacht club.
A couple from North Carolina has been indicted for murder in connection with the stabbing death of the woman’s ex-boyfriend in a violent incident that occurred at the Stony Brook Yacht Club on November 10. The Suffolk County District Attorney’s Office has confirmed the indictment of the suspects, identified as Kacy Corso, 33, and her current boyfriend Victor Panebianco, 32, both of whom are residents of King, North Carolina.
Authorities reported that 52-year-old Christopher Millwater, who resided in Selden, was discovered unconscious in the parking lot of the yacht club shortly after 3:30 a.m. on the day of the incident. Emergency responders, called to the scene by a fisherman who witnessed the unfolding events, found Millwater suffering from two stab wounds to the chest. He was immediately transported to a local hospital, where he was later pronounced dead.
Corso was apprehended by Suffolk County police on the same day, while Panebianco was arrested nine days later in Stokes County, North Carolina. After being extradited to New York, Panebianco was officially charged following his November 29 arrest.
The case has drawn significant attention due to the nature of the alleged crime and the circumstances surrounding it. Prosecutors describe the actions of Corso and Panebianco as a “deliberate and coordinated act of violence.” Evidence collected by law enforcement includes surveillance footage showing Corso using her vehicle to block Millwater’s car. Afterward, Panebianco reportedly exited Corso’s vehicle and approached Millwater, leading to a confrontation where Millwater attempted to escape.
During the altercation, Millwater reportedly questioned his assailant, asking if he was being stabbed as he called for help. The suspect was seen in the footage threatening Millwater and instructing him to stay away from Corso. Following a physical confrontation that included a kick to Millwater’s head, the couple fled the scene.
Cellphone records suggest that Corso and Panebianco arrived in Long Island less than 90 minutes before the murder and left shortly after. Investigative findings have indicated that there were ongoing tensions between Corso and Millwater, evidenced by social media exchanges that referenced their tumultuous relationship.
Corso and Panebianco have both pleaded not guilty to the charges against them. They have been ordered to be held without bail and are set to appear in court on January 13 and 14, respectively. Should they be convicted, they face the possibility of a sentence ranging from 25 years to life in prison.
This case underscores the tragic consequences of domestic violence and the complexities of interpersonal relationships, drawing attention to ongoing discussions about safety and legal accountability in such scenarios.
