An 83-year-old previously convicted in two killings has been arrested in connection with the grisly discovery of a woman's body — missing a head, arms and legs — that was found in a garbage bag in a shopping cart on a busy street outside a Brooklyn store.
The medical examiner will conduct an autopsy to determine how the woman died.
It's not yet been confirmed if a human leg found blocks from the torso a few days later has been definitively linked to the same victimOfficers executed a search warrant and found a human head inside Marcelin's apartment, according to the criminal complaint, along with blades for a saw. Police sources told NBC New York that tarot cards were also found laid out on a table inside the apartment, and investigators are looking into whether that played a factor in the alleged murder.
The murder charge stemmed from a woman's shooting death. A jury found Marcelin guilty of murder in 1963 for fatally shooting Jacqueline Bonds inside a Manhattan apartment. At the time, Marcelin was also facing an attempted rape charge involving another woman, according to court records. The judge gave Marcelin life in prison after jurors were unable to agree on whether the crime justified a death penalty.
Marcelin was released on lifetime parole in May 1984, the Post reported, and cuffed again for allegedly stabbing another another girlfriend less than a year later and leaving her body in a trash bag in the street near Central Park. Marcelin was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to six to 12 years in prison.
State officials were reluctant to grant parole when Marcelin became eligible in the 1990s. During one State Parole Board hearing in 1997, Marcelin admitted to having “problems” with women, according to court records. Other boards rejected parole citing Marcelin’s “attempt to place the blame” on the victims.Police stress their investigation in the latest case is ongoing. Marcelin is due back in court Thursday.
