"On Oct. 9, a jury convicted defendant Nicholas McGee of first-degree murder and concealment of a human corpse. Prosecutors allege that, one day in March 2022, McGee got into a dispute with an acquaintance who was staying in his apartment that ultimately turned deadly. According to court papers, the acquaintance died after getting bludgeoned with a hammer and stabbed and slashed scores of times. McGee then disremembered the body and stashed various parts in his refrigerator and freezer."
"On Jan. 22, 2024, court papers state, New York Police Department officers were dispatched to McGee's apartment to follow up on a Crime Stoppers tip that a corpse was being stored there. At the time, McGee was living in Virginia and had not resided in the Brooklyn apartment for four months. Heather Stines, McGee's wife, answered the door and an officer immediately recognized the smell of death from inside the apartment."
A Brooklyn man was convicted of first-degree murder and concealment after prosecutors said he bludgeoned, stabbed, and slashed an acquaintance in March 2022, then dismembered and stored body parts in a refrigerator and freezer. On Jan. 22, 2024, police responded to a Crime Stoppers tip about a corpse at the Brooklyn apartment; the defendant had been living in Virginia and had not resided there for months. The defendant's wife answered, and an officer smelled a putrid odor inside. Officers found a working refrigerator taped shut. A court rejected the defendant's claim that the search was illegal, allowing the refrigerator evidence.
