East Flatbush Man Arraigned In Girlfriend's Dismemberment

EAST FLATBUSH, NY — The East Flatbush man who authorities said dismembered his girlfriend and left parts of her body at a Bronx trash facility was arraigned Monday, the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office said.

Somorie Moses, 40, who lives at 185 Erasmus St., is charged with one count of second-degree murder and one count of concealment of a human corpse, Acting Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said in a press release.

Moses is being held without bail, the office said, and faces up to 25 years in prison if he is found guilty.

After human remains were found at the Bronx waste station last month, police traced them back to Moses' East Flatbush apartment, the D.A.'s office said.

Moses was arrested five days after the remains were found. Parts of his girlfriend, 32-year-old Leondra Foster, were found at the trash facility, the D.A.'s office said. Other parts, including her head, were found in Moses' home freezer, the office said.

Moses was convicted in 2006 of promoting the prostitution of an underage girl, according to The New York Daily News.
