Hands in a pot of bleach, a leg in the freezer, the rest in the trash: a dismembered body found in the Bronx

On August 5, severed human hands were found in a pot of bleach in a Bronx apartment. The victim is likely the same man whose remains were found burned in a shopping cart in Yonkers, reports New York Post.

Detectives were searching an apartment on Rogers Place near East 163rd Street in Longwood around 23:30 p.m. That's when they found the severed hands.

Investigators found a pot of bleach on the kitchen floor. Two arms were sticking out of it.

A black bag found inside the freezer likely contained more remains - including at least one leg. But investigators have not yet opened the package.

Police found a gun and drug paraphernalia in the bedroom.

Investigators believe two people downloaded other parts earlier on August 5 body into a shopping cart, pushed it onto a Metro-North train and then drove it to Sherwood Avenue and the Bronx River Parkway in Yonkers. There they set fire to the remains.

The first rescuers arrived at the scene of the fire at about 2 a.m. on August 5.

When the fire was extinguished, fire brigade and police officers found remains body.

The investigation revealed that although the body was set on fire in Yonkers, the man was killed elsewhere. The investigation was turned over to the NYPD and the Bronx district attorney.

A 65-year-old building manager in the Bronx said the tenant of the fourth-floor apartment where the remains were found lived in one of the rooms of the two-bedroom apartment.

He admitted that the tenant was "involved in drugs" and that he had previously received complaints, but did not go into detail.

The manager, he said, saw the police taking the body bag out into the street. He reviewed CCTV footage of a man and woman entering and leaving the apartment around noon on August 5.

“All I know is that the police said that someone was killed there. I don’t know who exactly,” the manager said.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” he added.

The city medical examiner's office will officially determine the victim's cause of death. No arrests were made.
