Baltimore man accused of killing girlfriend, dumping her body using shopping cart
BALTIMORE -- A Baltimore man is accused of stabbing his girlfriend to death before dumping her body beneath train tracks in South Baltimore, according to charging documents obtained by WJZ.
Bruce Poole, 63, is charged with first- and second-degree murder, assault and weapon-related offenses. He confessed to killing his partner on Saturday, Sept. 17., according to the charging documents.
The body of Kelly Logan was found lying under train tracks at the 2100 block of Kloman Street last Wednesday afternoon, the charging documents said. The Office of the Chief Medical Examiner determined she died by stabbing, and had multiple stab wounds to her head and neck.
Investigators learned Logan lived with Poole at his Northwest Baltimore apartment on the 6000 block of Park Heights Avenue.
According to the charging documents, detectives went to Poole's apartment and obtained surveillance footage showing Poole loading a large trash bag into a shopping cart. Investigators believe Logan's remains were in the bag.
As police secured a search and seizure warrant, Poole arrived on the scene with family members who wanted to turn him in, according to the documents.
Poole was arrested without incident. He complained of chest pain upon arrest and was hospitalized out of caution, according to the document.
After he was released from the hospital, Poole allegedly confessed to killing Logan in his bedroom days ago. He told investigators he dumped the body with the help of two other people, the documents said.
A warrant was executed at Poole's home, where detectives found "evidence coinciding with a crime scene" according to the document.
Denise, a neighbor who asked that her last name not be used, told WJZ Investigator Mike Hellgren she would often see the couple together and never heard them argue.
"If you can do something like that, you have no regard for human life," she said. "May she rest In peace. She did not deserve to go like that. Nobody deserves to go like that. And then you're going to kill her and throw her out like she's a piece of trash. She has family. She has loved ones. That could be one of us. Our families would lose their minds. That's really sad."
An uncle of Logan declined an interview request but said there is "relief in his heart" that someone has been arrested and charged in her killing.
He said Logan was a mother and her death has stunned her large family.
