A New York man has been charged with murder after his 65-year-old roommate's torso was discovered in a suitcase floating in the East River earlier this month. On the evening of Wednesday, Feb. 5, the NYPD Harbor Unit made a grisly discovery when it fished a suitcase out of the East River near Governor’s Island and discovered a human torso inside,

The victim was identified as Edwin Echevarria, a 65-year-old man from the Lower East Side — and his alleged killer is his 23-year-old roommate, police said.

A woman who had been reported missing in North Caloocan for almost a week was found dead Thursday, February 13, inside a suitcase that was floating in a river in San Jose Del Monte, Bulacan.

The torso of 65-year-old Edwin Echevarria was found in a sleeping bag in a suitcase floating in the river. Police have arrested his partner's son.

Members of the NYPD harbor unit recovered the case and brought it to Pier 16 on South St. near John St. in the Financial District. When they unzipped it, they discovered a sleeping bag containing the torso of an adult man with no head or limbs.

The human remains found in a suitcase floating in the East River have been identified as Edwin Echevarria, 65, who was allegedly murdered by 23-year-old Christian Miller.

The NYPD has arrested the roommate of a man whose dismembered body was found floating inside a suitcase in the East River last week—after the two had been fighting about food, sources said.
