Police at first struggled to find enough evidence to arrest the man they believed responsible for the [March murder of Maryanne Rinato in her Bensonhurst apartment](/woman-found-dead-in-bensonhurst-building/), but last week finally put the cuffs on their suspect.

Rinato’s live-in boyfriend, 51-year-old Richard Cagliostro was arrested on Thursday in connection with the March 20 killing of Rinato, 48.

According to the Daily News:

> Rinato was found in her bed, a single gunshot wound to the head, just before 3 p.m., officials said.

> Investigators long suspected Cagliostro but didn’t have enough evidence to nab him until this week, a cop source said.

> Cagliostro is charged with second-degree murder and criminal possession of a weapon.

Rinato and Cagliostro lived together at the 19th Avenue apartment, between 67th Street and 68th Street. Shortly after the murder investigation began, [NYPD detectives surmised that her killer was likely an acquaintance](/police-hunt-for-bensonhurst-womans-murderer-say-victim-knew-killer/), and set off interviewing friends and family.
