Charred Body Found on Bronx Rooftop

2009_01_bxbrt.jpg A Bronx neighborhood was shocked by the discovery of human remains on the roof of an apartment building. Acting on a family's missing person report for their daughter, the police headed to an apartment on Marion Avenue in the afternoon and found blood in the bathroom. Then, WCBS 2 reports, "Police found [a] woman's burned body on the roof, there was no attempt to conceal it and that the arms and legs of the unidentified victim had been cut off and removed from the scene. So far, the limbs have not been recovered by crime scene technicians." It is feared the missing woman, Paulemont Manuella, and the murder victim are the same person. The police took the missing woman's boyfriend in for, per NY1, violating an order of protection against Manuella. One resident told NY1, "I'm sad. Something like that shouldn't happen to any human being. Regardless of how much you despise them or have problems or relationship issues or whatever."

    Obvious suicide.

    Yikes. A girl was murdered and burned in the woods behind the house I grew up in, I would always get a little freaked out when I would ride my bike around there at night. Now someone has built a house there, no thanks!

    Seriously, how do you leave a crime scene with arms and legs? Seems like a lot of work. I don't think you should have luggage after a murder.
