Leg Discovered Blocks From Where Torso Was Found In BK: NYPD

BROOKLYN, NY — A human leg was discovered in Brooklyn on Monday only a few blocks from where a torso was found last week, according to police.

The severed left leg, which still had a sock on, was found in a discarded tire on Jamaica Avenue near Vermont Street around 3:30 p.m. on Monday, according to police.

The grisly discovery was just a few blocks from where a woman's torso — missing a head, arms and legs — was found inside a garbage bag in a shopping cart near Pennsylvania and Atlantic avenues last Thursday.

It was not immediately clear if the leg was related to the torso discovery.

Police were still investigating the latest discovery on Tuesday afternoon, an NYPD spokesperson said.
