A 32-year-old Forest Hills man last week was convicted and sentenced for killing a tenant of his two-family house in 1997, authorities said.
The defendant, Keith Boyle, a Metropolitan Transportation Authority motorman who worked on the F subway line, was found guilty of manslaughter by Supreme Court Justice Randall Eng, said Queens District Attorney Richard Brown last week.
He received 15 to 33 years in prison for the crime.
Prosecutors said Boyle, who lived on the second floor of a two-family house at 71-44 Nansen St. in Forest Hills, rented out a first-floor apartment to his victim, Bassam Hasan, a 31-year-old computer consultant, who had a wife and child.
Boyle shot Hasan several times at the house, killing him, then drove the body to upstate New York, where police found it a day and a half later in a marsh, prosecutors said.
