Times Square bar worker indicted in woman's death

NEW YORK - A bar worker at a popular Times Square karaoke club has been indicted in the beating death of a woman on the club's roof during an argument.

Prosecutors said Wednesday that Syed (SIGH'-ad) Rahman (RAH'-man) had been indicted, but the charges and other details would not be released until a Sept. 15 arraignment. Rahman's attorney says his client will plead not guilty.

Police say the 24-year-old Rahman admitted smashing Ingrid Rivera over the head early on Aug. 4, during a birthday party for rapper Lil' Kim. The victim had paid to attend. Her body was discovered Aug. 6.

The medical examiner ruled the death a homicide after an autopsy found that the 24-year-old Rivera died from a blow to the head.
