When a woman walks into her brother’s apartment in Manhattan, she can’t believe her eyes: the man, a tech entrepreneur, is dead. Dismembered. Probably with an electric saw. The New York police are puzzling over the background.
A corpse, probably dismembered with an electric saw, was discovered in an apartment in New York. The body of a 33-year-old technology entrepreneur was found by his sister in the man’s apartment in south Manhattan, the police said. “We are deeply sad to have to inform about the sudden and tragic death of our founder,” wrote Gokada, the entrepreneur’s start-up, which offers motorcycle rides primarily in Nigeria’s capital Lagos, on Twitter. “He’s been a great leader, inspiration and positive light for all of us.”
According to media reports, videos from surveillance cameras show how the 33-year-old took the elevator to his apartment on Monday evening, which is located in a posh house in New York’s trendy Lower East Side. A man in black, whose identity was initially unclear, was in the elevator with him and then attacked him in his apartment.
The victim’s sister came to the apartment on Tuesday to check that everything was going well because she had not heard from her brother for a long time. She found the dismembered body, some of which had been stuffed into bags, and called the police. An electric saw was wired to an electrical outlet near the body. The background to the act is still completely unclear.
