The former executive assistant of Fahim Saleh pleaded not guilty Tuesday to charges of first-degree murder for allegedly decapitating and dismembering the tech entrepreneur in his luxury New York condo in July.

Tyrese Haspil, 21, entered his not guilty plea via Skype before a state court judge in Manhattan after a grand jury indicted him on upgraded charges of first- and second-degree murder, second-degree grand larceny, second-degree burglary, concealment of a human corpse and tampering with physical evidence, according to the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

"We're contesting everything here, including the circumstances of the death and whether or not they can prove that this young man had anything at all to do with it," said Neville Mitchell, an attorney with the Legal Aid Society's Homicide Defense Task Force, who's representing Haspil.

"This is going to be a vigorous defense for this young man. There are a lot of things that we're investigating that you know we're not prepared to offer at this time in terms of the defense, but there will be a vigorous defense."

Haspil is being held at Rikers Island, according to Mitchell.

The case was adjourned until January 11.

Chilling last words of beheaded tech CEO revealed as killer testifies about lavish gifts he gave to French lover​

A thieving protege who allegedly beheaded his tech CEO boss testified Monday that his mentor questioned his appearance before the attack – but didn’t immediately realize his life was in danger.

Tyrese Haspil, 25, was wearing a dark, plastic face shield with a baseball cap and sunglasses when he took a fateful elevator ride with Fahim Saleh in his Lower East Side apartment building in July 2020, the alleged killer said on the witness stand in Manhattan Supreme Court.

“He commented on my outfit. He said something to the effect of you’re really taking this COVID [personal protection equipment] seriously,” Haspil recalled to his attorney, Diane Ackerman of the Legal Aid Society, before confessing to the murder.

“He got off the elevator and I tased him in the back. I remember tasing him in the back,” Haspil added in a cool tone.

Haspil’s attorneys have said he committed the murder due to “extreme emotional disturbance” as he showered his French exchange student girlfriend with pricey gifts to give the impression he was a big-spending high-roller.

Haspil was asked on the witness stand by his attorney if he remembered anything Saleh had said during the brutal murder — to which he revealed his victim’s chilling last words: “What are you doing?”
