Robin Ficker, who said he completed a two-hour consultation with Wint, 34, on Saturday at the D.C. Central Detention Center, sliced into official accounts of the alleged quadruple homicide in an interview with the News.
“He doesn’t like pizza, he doesn’t order pizza,” Ficker said. “If you don’t like pizza and you’re holding people hostage in a house, aren’t you going to look in the refrigerator for something else?”
[. . .]
But Ficker, who has represented Wint in past cases on the ex-con’s long rap sheet of assault, domestic violence and theft, maintains he’s not capable of killing someone and called the reputed Domino’s
analysis.” The popular pies aren’t “a big thing” in Wint’s native Guyana, Ficker noted, saying he plans to speak with forensic experts on Wint’s alleged link to the food.

“When you eat a pizza, you’re not getting the inside of your mouth on the pizza,” he said. “You’re trying to convince us that a touch of someone’s lips on a pizza crust means that a murder was committed hours later by the pizza biter? This pizza stuff is a stretch.”

He’d been staying in his gal pal’s Canarsie apartment since Sunday — but wasn’t concerned about getting caught until he was named as a suspect Wednesday night, a law enforcement source said.
Wint was “shocked” by the warrant for his arrest, the source added. He called his parents in Maryland, then hopped in a livery cab, forking over hundreds of dollars to get back to DC, the source said.

Police believe the man suspected of brutally murdering a family and their housekeeper in Washington, DC, last week is in Brooklyn — because his Big Apple girlfriend told authorities he’d been staying with her, The Post has learned.
Daron Dylon Wint’s Brooklyn girlfriend claimed that he was with her but heading back to Washington, DC, to turn himself in, a law enforcement source told The Post.
The source added that her claims that he’s prepared to turn himself over to the police could be nothing more than a diversion. Police took her in for questioning at the 69th precinct Thursday, sources said.
[. . .]
“We had information to believe he may be here, and right now in the South Brooklyn area,” Chief of Detectives Robert Boyce said at aThursday afternoon press conference.
“He has some relatives here and some friends here. We’re investigating that with them right now,” he added.
Wint was spotted as recently as Wednesday night in Brooklyn, authorities told the Associated Press.
Police believe he may have stayed with his girlfriend Wednesday night, then left early in the morning, law enforcement sources said.
[. . .]
Wint was at one time employed by American Iron Works, a construction materials supplier based in Hyattsville, Maryland, where Savvas served as CEO, Lanier said at a press conference in DC.
“We do believe that there is a connection between the suspect in this case through the business,” she said. “It does not appear that this is a random crime.”
He “possibly” traveled from Maryland to New York on a bus, and police haven’t connected him with a car at this point, Lanier said.
[. . .]
Wint was last seen in blue jeans, a blue hooded sweatshirt and white tennis shoes.
