A girl walking to school on Thursday morning on Long Island found a sev- ered arm on the side of the road. Police searching the area then discovered another arm and a disembodied leg nearby, authorities in New York said.
Suffolk County Police said the girl spotted the severed left arm along a road near the popular Southards Pond Park in Babylon and called her father, who then dialled 911.
A police dog eventu- ally found a right arm close to where the other arm was locat-
ed and went to the other side of the park where it uncovered a severed leg sticking out of a pile of leaves.
The two arms appear to have belonged to a male, police said.
Officials told CBS New York the case is
being treated as a homicide. Caution tape was strung up all around the neigh- bourhood. There are still more questions than answers.
The discovery hap- pened close to two schools. Neighbours were in disbelief.
“It’s very scary. It’s very close to home. All of my children go to school here,” Nicole Bonsignore told CBS.
“For a child or an adult to find body parts, it’s very dis- turbing,” another per- son said
The superintendent of the Babylon School District sent an email to local par-
ents saying breaks would be held indoors to avoid inter- fering with the inves- tigation, and dis- missal procedures were modified.
“The safety and men- tal health of our stu- dents is our number one priority, and we know this incident may be causing some extreme anxi- ety among our stu- dents, particularly the high school students who were directly affected by this situa- tion on their way to school this morning.
“We applaud them for their diligence in reporting their dis- turbing discovery to our building adminis- tration and law enforcement.”
