Shopping cart with burning body parts found in New York

In the New York suburb of Yonkers, firefighters are called to a fire under a bridge. Once the fire was extinguished, the emergency services found a lifeless body in a shopping cart. The ads quickly lead to a house in the Bronx.

It was still early morning in Yonkers, New York, when firefighters made a gruesome discovery: human remains were burning in an abandoned shopping cart under a bridge. It is currently unclear who placed the body parts there and set them on fire, as reported by NBC New York. However, clues lead investigators to a house in the Bronx.

Emergency services were alerted to a fire under a bridge on Monday morning, according to reports. Once the fire was extinguished, the lifeless body became visible at last, it is said. During their investigation, the police officers in charge quickly assumed that the body had been set on fire where it was found, but not killed there. So she turned the case over to the New York police.

They quickly linked the discovery to a house in the Bronx. Surveillance video put her on the trail. The images show a man pushing the same shopping cart, which was later found in flames, into a tram. The video was filmed in the 44th Precinct in the Bronx, a senior New York police official told NBC New York. It’s unclear exactly what led investigators to this particular home.

Body marking must be banned

While searching the Roger Place house in the Bronx, the police finally found what they were looking for. They found other parts of the body in the kitchen of the building, reports the American television channel. As a result, there were two hands in some kind of pot and two feet in the freezer compartment. A firearm and drug paraphernalia were also found in the bedroom.

According to the investigating authorities, the murder could have happened in the house. Authorities suspect the victim was killed at the scene and then, for logistical reasons, loaded into the shopping cart and taken by train to suburban Yonkers.

According to the report, the condition of the body was particularly shocking. Hands, feet and teeth were missing. Authorities suspect that the suspension of the body and the disappearance of some body parts were intended to slow down the identification process. “If you take off your hands, you can’t take fingerprints anymore. As soon as the teeth are missing, the dental identification is also missing,” explained a former US law enforcement official. Terence Monahan races her.

The expert also praised the cooperation between the different authorities. The fact that there is already so much evidence is impressive. However, investigators are still unable to find any suspects. The investigation continues.
