In a shocking and gruesome discovery, severed human hands were found stuffed in a crockpot filled with bleach inside a Bronx apartment. The victim is believed to be the same person whose remains were torched in a shopping cart in Yonkers. Detectives were executing a search warrant in an apartment on Rogers Place near East 163rd Street in Longwood when they made the horrifying find late at night.
The investigators stumbled upon a bleach-filled crockpot on the kitchen floor with two hands protruding from it. Additionally, a black bag found in the freezer is suspected to contain more remains, including at least one leg. The scene was further complicated by the discovery of a gun and drug paraphernalia in a bedroom within the apartment.
It is believed that earlier on the same day, two individuals loaded more body parts into a shopping cart, transported it on a Metro-North train, and then set the remains on fire at Sherwood Avenue and Bronx River Parkway in Yonkers. First responders were called to the scene of a fire in the early hours of the morning, where they found a lifeless body on the sidewalk after extinguishing the blaze.
While the body was burned in Yonkers, it was determined to be a „dump site,“ and the investigation was handed over to the NYPD and the Bronx District Attorney’s Office. The 65-year-old building superintendent of the Bronx building where the remains were discovered revealed that the tenant of the fourth-floor apartment lived in one room of the two-bedroom unit. He mentioned that the tenant was involved in drugs and had received complaints in the past.
The superintendent witnessed police carrying a body bag out of the building and saw footage of a man and woman entering and leaving the apartment around midday on the day of the discovery. This shocking incident has left the superintendent in disbelief, stating that he had never seen anything like this happen before in the area.
The city’s medical examiner’s office will determine the cause of death officially, and as of now, no arrests have been made in connection with the case. The investigation into this heinous crime continues, with authorities working diligently to bring those responsible to justice. The community is left reeling from the horrific events that have unfolded, and the search for answers and closure for the victim’s loved ones remains ongoing.
