A man’s severed head and dismembered body were found stuffed in a taped-off freezer in Brooklyn – and a woman inside the apartment was detained on unrelated warrants, cops and law enforcement sources said.
Police made the grisly find around 6:15 a.m. Monday when they showed up at the fourth-floor unit on Nostrand Avenue near Farragut Road in Flatbush – prompted by a CrimeStoppers tip about a possible body being “stored” there, NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said Tuesday.
“During the course of patrol’s investigation, they came across some body parts in the freezer,” Kenny told reporters. “At this point we’re trying to identify that person.”
