Harvey Marcelin, 87, was convicted by a Brooklyn jury of first-degree murder, tampering with evidence, and concealing a human corpse for the killing and dismemberment of Susan Leyden in an East New York apartment. Marcelin was on parole after prior convictions for two other killings. Jurors returned the verdict after one hour of deliberations. Prosecutors said surveillance footage showed Leyden entering Marcelin’s apartment on Feb. 27, 2022, and she was never seen leaving alive. Investigators found Leyden’s torso in a shopping bag and her head and limbs in Marcelin’s apartment, along with blood, cleaning supplies, a hammer, and an electric saw box. Her legs were later found in a nearby garbage can. The medical examiner determined blunt force trauma and other injuries. Marcelin faces up to life in prison without parole, with sentencing scheduled next month.
