A New York City Man has been charged with murder and concealment of human remains after a human head was found in his Manhattan apartment.
Harvey Marcelin, 83 who identified as male in previous court documents but currently identifies as a woman, was indicted on second-degree murder charges Thursday for killing 68-year-old Susan Leyden. Marcelin allegedly dismembered Leyden’s corpse and hid the parts.
Police discovered Leyden’s remains in a multicolored bag in a shopping cart on March 3, and later found surveillance footage of Leyden carrying the same bag inside Marcelin’s apartment building on Feb. 27. Her head was later found inside Marcelin’s home.
Marcelin served a prison term for the murder of a girlfriend in 1963 and was released in 1984. He also pled guilty in 1986 to the murder of another woman. Marcelin admitted to having “problems” with women during a 1997 appearance before the state parole board.
