A, 83-year-old man previously convicted of murder who was out on parole has been arrested and charged with killing a woman in Brooklyn and dismembering her body.
Harvey Marcelin, 83, allegedly murdered 68-year-old Susan Leyden, severing her head and limbs, leaving her body in a garbage bag in a shopping cart that was discovered on a busy Brooklyn street, NBC New York reported.
“Last week, my office charged Harvey Marcelin with allegedly concealing the severed head of a woman in her home and discarding the victim’s torso in a bag on the street,” Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement on Thursday. “Today, the grand jury indicted Harvey Marcelin for murder, and my office is committed to vigorously seeking justice. The facts of this horrific case are gruesome and unsettling and my heart is with the victim’s family and friends.”
