>>Moments after Timothy Kostka slashed the throat of a beloved South Boston grandmother, he cashed in her winning lottery ticket at the corner store, then used the ill-gotten gains to buy heroin in Roxbury, prosecutors said in court yesterday as they detailed the chilling murder that has Southie’s City Point community reeling.
“It only took a few minutes,” Suffolk Assistant District Attorney Ursula Knight told South Boston District Court Judge Michael Boldan during yesterday’s emotional arraignment. “At 10:03 a.m., he was at Jimmy’s Korner, cashing in the lottery ticket, and at 10:06 a.m., he started making calls for heroin.”
>>Coyne, who had known Kostka, described her attacker to her son, said Knight. She later died at Boston Medical Center at 10:34 a.m., according to a police report.
Knight said Kostka, 26, of South Boston went to Coyne’s East 7th Street home to steal some expensive fishing equipment that belonged to Coyne’s son, Richard.
