Video After The Jump
NEW YORK (AP) — An 83-year-old ex-convict who served two decades in prison for fatally shooting a girlfriend, got out & then went back to jail for killing another girlfriend a year later, is now charged in a new crime: The dismemberment of a woman whose head was found in the parolee’s apartment.
Prosecutors identified the ex-convict as Harvey Marcelin, who was freed from prison in 2019. Marcelin was arrested in New York City last week on a charge of concealing a human corpse after being recorded on surveillance video abandoning a bag later found to contain the victim’s torso.
A grand jury charged Marcelin on Thursday with murder.
The Brooklyn district attorney’s office identified the victim as Susan Leyden, a 68-year-old Brooklyn resident.
Though identified as a man in court filings in past decades, Marcelin was booked this time as a woman. Acquaintances told reporters Marcelin identified in recent years as a woman.
Marcelin’s previous convictions were for killing live-in girlfriends, according to court documents.
A jury found Marcelin guilty of murder in 1963 for fatally shooting Jacqueline Bonds inside a Manhattan apartment. At the time, Marcelin was also facing an attempted rape charge involving another woman. The judge gave Marcelin life in prison after jurors were unable to agree on whether the crime justified a death penalty.
Marcelin was paroled in 1984 & was arrested the following year for fatally stabbing another girlfriend and leaving her body in a trash bag in the street. Marcelin was convicted of manslaughter & sentenced to six to 12 years in prison.
