Put this animal down. Kill him.

A 30-year-old man who in recent years worked as a legal assistant at his father’s law firm stands accused of beating his stepmom to death with a baseball bat in the family’s townhouse and fleeing the scene.

Bergen County Prosecutor Mark Musella said authorities were called
Wednesday evening to a townhome on Stonegate Trail in Cresskill, where
John Arthur Daniels Jr. allegedly committed the murder.

“At approximately 6:46 p.m., Cresskill police responded to a 911 call and
found the victim deceased of apparent blunt force trauma,” authorities
said, later identifying the victim as 48-year-old Irma Daniels and
specifying that she had been beaten with bat. The victim was pronounced
dead at the scene, authorities said.

The Daily Voice reported that the defendant graduated from Bergen Catholic
High School in 2011, the same year Irma Daniels married John Daniels Sr.,
a 63-year-old prominent New Jersey lawyer serving as managing partner at
his family’s nearly century-old law firm — Daniels & Daniels.

“Daniels and DANIELS since 1930 has always been a law firm dedicated to
the service of the clients needs. Personalized service and attention in conjunction with passion and determination is what sets us support [sic]
from large law firm’s,” the firm website says. “The firm focuses upon
civil litigation, corporate law, personal injury law, and estate and trust law.”

John Daniels Sr. was admitted to the bar in 1992.

A Seton Hall undergrad in Diplomacy and International Relations with an
MBA from Boston College, John Daniels Jr. worked as a legal assistant at
the firm for two years, from 2018 to 2020, his LinkedIn page shows.

Years later, the younger Daniels is accused of first-degree murder,
hindering apprehension by suppression, hindering apprehension by providing false information, and weapons charges.

Irma Daniels, who reportedly emigrated from Moscow, Russia, to the U.S.
over a decade ago, worked as a realtor associate focusing on luxury
properties.

“Our homes are among our most important financial investments. Moreover,
our homes so frequently evoke personal memories of cherished family
experiences that the impending purchase or sale of a home becomes an
especially strenuous endeavor. It causes me to approach my task with
special sensitivity, concern and professional competence,” reads a quote
from Daniels on her Sotheby’s International Realty page. “This level of
real estate deserves exemplary service from finding what you are looking
for in a home, to marketing your home to the most appropriate audience resulting in an expedient sale. A successful and seamless experience for
my clients where all parties benefit is my ultimate reward.”

As recently as March, the ascendant realtor posted on Facebook about a professional breakthrough due to her work with Sotheby’s.

“I finally did it… After 7 years in real estate industry I finally
received this distinguished award ‘CIRCLE OF EXCELLENCE’ from NJ Board of Realtors for my accomplishments in real estate in 2022,” she wrote.
“Looking back to the beginning of this new journey for me I will never
forget how hard it was the first two years with no deals, no clients, no guidance or support from the company where I started. I was ready to give
up. It was a long way to get where I am now. Everything came to me through perseverance, work ethic, failures, creative mind and most importantly my mindset that I am not a quitter. ”

“I am very happy to share my success with my clients, friends and family.
Thank you for your trust. It means everything to me,” she added.

Tragically, Irma Daniels was killed in a townhome that was much like the properties she was accustomed to selling.
