A ticked-off housekeeper who worked in the sprawling mansions of Greenwich, Conn., has been swept up as a suspect in the killing of her one-time boss.
Flora Canales, 50, was arraigned yesterday in Stamford Superior Court on a murder charge in the slaying of Alicia Kirkel on Monday morning. Kirkel owned an employment agency for butlers and baby-sitters in Greenwich.
Canales was arrested Monday night at her apartment in Stamford, where cops seized a sport-utility vehicle and discovered a gun they believe was used to shoot Kirkel to death. Canales is being held on $500,000 bail.
"It was a professional, on-the-job dispute," said Greenwich Police Capt. David Ridberg. "[Canales] had a serious beef."
Investigators believe Canales may have been steamed because she thought Kirkel, 41, was blocking her from landing other cleaning jobs.
The shooting followed a loud argument between the women inside the office of Royal Domestics, the agency Kirkel founded in downtown Greenwich in 1992
