Four people have been arrested after severed body parts of a man and woman were found scattered on Long Island, New York last week, as authorities keep finding more remains.

 

Police raided a home on Railroad Avenue in Amityville late Monday evening, March 4, and even though the police didn’t find any human remains at the home, they found more dismembered limbs hidden in Bethpage State Park and miles away in a wooded area of West Babylon, the Suffolk County Police Department said in a statement Tuesday, March 5.

 

 

Police believe the newly-discovered remains belong to the same two people whose body parts were uncovered on February 29 in Southards Pond Park in Babylon, the police statement said.

Investigators haven’t publicly identified the victims, but said in the release that the assortment of limbs belong to a 59-year-old woman and a 53-year-old man, both of whom lived at the same address in the city of Yonkers in Westchester County.

 

“Based on the investigation, this appears to be an isolated incident with no threat to the public,” the release added. “The investigation is continuing. “

Officers in charge refused to mention a possible motive for the killings but said they are looking into whether the murders were linked to a possible love triangle.

 

The first body part was found Thursday morning by a girl walking to school with a group of friends on Siegal Boulevard which is on the east side of Southside Park in Babylon, Suffolk County. The girl on her way to school called her dad after spotting a dismembered left arm in the bushes.

 

Her father went to the scene, then called the police to report the discovery.

 

 

On Monday night, battering ram-wielding officers busted through the front door of one of the units on Railroad Ave sometime around 10:30 p.m.

“There were detectives and police going into my neighbor’s house, so I came over to see what was happening,” a neigbor told the NY post.

 

“They had bashed in the door, and there were a bunch of people standing inside the house, cops talking to my neighbors. They had already taken some people away.”

“Cops were here all night,” she told The Post. “I watched as long as I could stay awake, and when I woke up in the morning, they were all still here.

“One of them finally told me what they were looking for [and] what this was about,” she said. “I was terrified. I just stopped asking questions.”

Police were still searching the property as at Tuesday afternoon.

Officers then swept the area and more limbs and two unattached heads were found.
