Three men were indicted Wednesday in connection with the 2014 kidnapping and murder of Menachem Stark, a Hasidic Williamsburg landlord and father of eight, the Brooklyn District Attorney's office said.

Erskin Felix, 38, of Crown Heights was indicted for murder and kidnapping, while his brother, 28-year-old Kendall Felix and his cousin, 35-year-old Irvine Henry, also from Crown Heights, were indicted for conspiracy, the Brooklyn DA said.

The bail hearing for three men arrested in the Menachem Stark, Hy”d, kidnapping scheme, which resulted in his tragic death in January 2014, has been postponed by one month.

One man, Kendel Felix, has already been convicted of Stark’s murder and kidnapping, and is awaiting sentencing.

Bail Granted for One Defendant, Denied for Another, in Menachem Stark Kidnapping Case

Bail was set at $250,000 bond or $100,000 cash for Irvine Henry, who is charged with conspiracy, hindering prosecution, tampering with physical evidence, and attempted tampering with physical evidence.

Bail was denied for another defendant, Kendall Felix. Though Felix faces charges similar to Henry’s, Kings County Criminal Court Judge Danny Chun noted that Felix’s “involvement” in the plot to kidnap Stark was “far greater” than that of Irvine Henry’s, and that the “evidence is very, very, very strong” against Felix. Furthermore, said Judge Chun in denying bail, Felix has previously been in trouble with the law.

If convicted of the most serious charge, Henry and Felix each face up to 25 years in prison.

A third alleged co-conspirator, Kendall’s brother Erskin Felix, continues to be held without bail, as he has been charged with murder and kidnapping, in addition to the charges of conspiracy, tampering and attempted tampering.

Kendel faces a maximum of 25 years to life in prison. Since Kendel’s conviction, the other three men have been arrested and Kendel’s sentencing has repeatedly been postponed, leading many observers to believe that Kendel may now be cooperating with prosecutors in the hope of a reduced sentence.
