2 BK Men Kill Friend, Dump & Burn Body Near Philadelphia: Report

NEW YORK CITY — Two Brooklyn men shot and killed one of their drinking bodies before dumping and burning his body in the woods near Philadelphia, according to a report and cops.

Police arrested Luis Marroquin-Cerna, 27, and Rodolfo Lopez, 29, on murder charges July 4, NYPD officials said.

The pair is accused of fatally shooting a drinking buddy — Rolando Blanco-Duarte, 32 — early June 18 after a boozy night, the New York Daily News first reported.

The three men got into an argument after they left a 41st Street bar near Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery that ended with Blanco-Duarte shot twice about 4 a.m. inside a nearby building, the Daily News report states.

After the shooting, the two remaining men took Blanco-Duarte's body to Chester County, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, police said. They then dumped the body in a wooded area and set it on fire, the Daily New reported.

Pennsylvania authorities quickly discovered the body, but hadn't identified it at first.

By July 2, they identified the body and had informed NYPD officials that it was Blanco-Duarte, authorities said. An NYPD investigation led cops to Marroquin-Cena and Lopez, whom they arrested within days, police said.

The arrests aren't the only ones related to a dumped body that NYPD officers carried out in recent days.

Cops on Wednesday arrested three people — Gilree Scott, 67, Dorine Plowden, 62, and Maxine Rodriguez, 59 — on a concealment of a human corpse charge, authorities said.

They're connected to a grisly June 9 discovery in which the body of Lauri Duffy, 31, was found semi-decomposed and stuffed inside a plastic bin in The Bronx, police said.

Cops believe Duffy had been binging drugs with the trio when she fatally overdosed, setting them into a panic, the New York Daily News reported.
