A 38-year-old old man was arrested Sunday, accused of concealing a corpse that was found Friday morning in Flatbush.
News 12 reported last week that it took hours for NYPD's Crime Scene Unit to search through the garbage bins outside an apartment building on East 21st Street — where police say a man’s body was found.
News 12 sources close to the investigation say it was originally believed that police only found a torso, but the medical examiner revealed it was a full corpse - one that was severely underweight.
News 12 was told by neighbors that the victim lived inside the building with his partner, and the two were known to fight often — until recently when only one of them would be seen coming in and out of the apartment.
Christopher Moss, 38, of Flatbush, was charged with concealment of a human corpse. His relationship to the victim, who has not yet been identified, was not immediately clear. When officers approached Moss after a tip, the suspect made a violent struggle to get away from officers.
