WILLIAMSBURG, Brooklyn (WABC) — A woman’s body was found disposed inside a bag in Brooklyn.
A janitor made the discovery just after 9:30 a.m. Sunday in the basement of the building at The Borinquen Public Houses at 330 Bushwick Avenue in Williamsburg. NYCHA workers in the lower level found a bag suspiciously heavy, so they opened it and looked inside — that is when they found the corpse cut into pieces.
Police were called to the building and investigators believe the victim was a woman in her fifties or sixties.
“The workers they found that they heard screaming. The realized the back are too heavy, so they opened it up and the first thing they see is he head staring at them, so they ain’t going to be the same anymore. These people work in these buildings,” said Vincent Valcassel.
“I’m like scared out of my mind. I don’t what it’s going to go like if it’s going to continue happening, or is this like a one-time incident?” adds Aniel Riveyra.
The body has since been removed from the location.
Detectives were going around floor-by-floor looking for information.
