The woman hadn’t been seen for several days and when neighbors reported a foul smell, police conducted a well-being check on Apt 6F just after 1:30 a.m. Wednesday. They found the remains of a woman in two suitcases. Detectives are working on the assumption that she is a resident of the apartment, but the medical examiner will confirm her identity and determine the cause of death. Residents told police the woman lived in the apartment with a man, who detectives are now looking to speak to. They told police the two had fought in the past. Other residents expressed shock and disbelief at the gruesome discovery. “This neighborhood is not the best neighborhood to be honest with you, but this is outrageous. Absolutely outrageous,” said neighbor Lindsey Vena. “It makes me scared to even be around here. I’m just sick.” “This is scary. I live here with my family and it’s really bad to know that someone is doing something like this where you lay your head at night,” another resident told Eyewitness News. The investigation remains active and ongoing. READ ALSO | ‘I’m done’: Rikers officers resign in record numbers ———-
