One Woman Nearly Decapitated, Another Slashed While 4-Year-Old Was in House in New York Bloodbath
A woman was murdered—her head nearly-decapitated and her fingers severed—inside a Brooklyn apartment where a 4-year-old girl was found unharmed in a back bedroom, a senior NYPD official told The Daily Beast.
Police are working to determine if a bloody axe that was recovered from a nearby dumpster is the murder weapon, the official said. Investigators are still searching for a motive and no suspects had been identified as of Saturday afternoon.
The incident took place around 1:30 a.m. inside a housing project in Brooklyn’s increasingly hip Bushwick neighborhood.
