KIPS BAY, Manhattan (WABC) -- Two suspected squatters wanted for questioning in the murder of a woman who walked in on them living inside her recently deceased mother's Kips Bay apartment are now in custody.

The suspects were caught Friday in York, Pennsylvania, by members of the U.S. Marshals Regional Fugitive Task Force just before 11 a.m.

Halley Tejada, 19, and Kensly Alston, 18, were wanted in connection to the brutal death of Nadia Vitels.

Tejada is being held on a local charge of receiving stolen property, for possession of the victim's stolen Lexus. Both are being held pending extradition for her murder.

Building superintendent Jean Pompee says a weight has been lifted from his shoulders.

"Knowing that there's justice for her and her family? That's a relief," Pompee said.

Vitels arrived in the country from Spain last week to prepare the East 31st Street apartment for a family friend. It was owned by her mother, and had been vacant for the three to four months since her death.

Instead, she discovered the man and a woman living inside.

A struggle broke out and the victim was slammed against the wall and died of blunt force trauma to the head.

Her body was found on Thursday of last week by her son, who came to the apartment with relatives after they had not heard from her for two days. Pompee was there when her body was discovered. A foot was protruding from a duffel bag.

"The closet, you know, was partially open with all the clothes pulled out," Pompee said. "And one of the inlaws said, 'I believe there's a body in that bag. Can you please open it?' The firemen did, and he announced there was a body in there."

Many of Vitels' belongings were tossed down the garbage chute.
