Opinion
October 2, 1997
Appeal from Family Court, New York County (Ruth Zuckerman, J.).
Appellant's suppression motion was properly denied. The officer's inquiry as to the whereabouts of the knife, after having been apprised by the complainant and eyewitnesses that appellant had stabbed the complainant, did not constitute a custodial interrogation, but rather, a proper investigative inquiry at the scene of a crime ( see, Matter of Kwok T., 43 N.Y.2d 213; see also, New York v. Quarles, 467 U.S. 649).
