'The facts of this horrific case are gruesome and unsettling and my heart is with the victim's family and friends,' Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a statement.
An 83-year-old ex-convict who served two decades in prison for fatally shooting a girlfriend, got out, and then went back to jail for killing another girlfriend a year later, is now charged in a new crime: the dismemberment of a woman whose head was found in the parolee's apartment.
The Brooklyn district attorney's office identified the victim as Susan Leyden, a 68-year-old Brooklyn resident. Marcelin was paroled in 1984 and was arrested the following year for fatally stabbing another girlfriend and leaving her body in a trash bag in the street. Marcelin was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to six to 12 years in prison.
Surveillance video showed Marcelin wheeling a multi-colored bag from the building to the corner on March 2 and leaving it there, prosecutors said in a court filing. The torso was discovered inside the bag hours later, authorities said.
