Bags Containing Woman's Body Found In Bronx Alley

2009_09_walave.jpg Yesterday, police found a woman's body, wrapped in plastic bags, in an alley off Walton Avenue in the Bronx. According to the Daily News, "A woman called police to say her boyfriend had helped get rid of a body outside the Walton Ave. apartment building... The tipster told cops she had a guilty conscience and said her boyfriend had confessed to her that he helped another man dump the body." The ME's office will determine cause of death and the Post says the victim was apparently a Jehovah's Witness who lived with her mother in the building. The News reports that it seems the victim had been dead for a few days, adding that the super "said he used Clorox to clean the Morris Heights building's elevator after tenants complained about a smell. Still, the odor lingered."

    Snaps to the snitcher. Nice to see someone do the right thing.

    I am certainly not a fan of Jehovah's Witnesses, but I'm pretty sure that murdering them one by one and stuffing their bodies in garbage bags is not an appropriate reaction to their presence in our midst.
