Woman accused of murdering and dismembering her landlord following eviction notice

A 36-year-old woman from Chicago has been charged with first-degree murder and concealment of a homicide in connection with the death of her 69-year-old landlord, Frances Walker, who was found dismembered in a freezer.

Sandra Kolalou, depicted on the left, allegedly committed the crime after receiving an eviction notice from the landlord.

Tenants in the house where the incident occurred reported hearing screams around 2:30 p.m. on Monday, October 10. They later received text messages from Walker, which were believed to be sent by Sandra Kolalou.

According to Chicago Police Chief of Detectives Brendan Deenihan, the tenants were cooperative and attempted to contact the victim after hearing the screams. However, the responses they received were allegedly sent by the defendant from the victim’s phone.

Upon the arrival of the officers, Sandra Kolalou was observed heading toward a tow truck that had been paid for using Walker’s credit card. She purportedly asked the tow truck driver to transport her to Foster Beach, where her car was located and in need of towing.

Following the discovery of bloody rags in a garbage can at the beach, the officers conducted a thorough search of Walker’s home, where they ultimately found her remains inside a freezer.

At the time of the discovery, Kolalou was reportedly with the tow truck driver, whom she allegedly threatened with a knife. She was subsequently apprehended by law enforcement.

Investigators believe that Kolalou dismembered Walker inside the residence using large butcher knives.
