Amityville, New York – Authorities have made several arrests in connection with the discovery of human body parts at Southards Pond Park in Babylon Village last week. The Suffolk County Police Department has not confirmed the number of individuals taken into custody or the specific charges they are facing. Sources close to the investigation suggest that a possible motive being explored is related to a love triangle.
Law enforcement officials executed a search at a residence on Railroad Avenue in Amityville, which is in close proximity to the park where the body parts were found. Additionally, state police have processed another crime scene at Bethpage State Park in connection with the case. The investigation continues to unfold as DNA testing is being conducted to identify the victims, believed to be one man and one woman.
The disturbing discovery was made by a student walking to school, who found a severed left arm at the park on Thursday morning. Subsequent searches by police with the assistance of a cadaver dog led to the recovery of additional body parts, including a leg and another arm. Further investigation led to the retrieval of a head, parts of a leg, and a third arm, all suggesting recent disposal.
While gang-related activity has not been ruled out, authorities are diligently working on identifying the victims and piecing together the circumstances surrounding the grisly incident. The Suffolk County Police Department has refrained from providing detailed updates on the case at this time, emphasizing the ongoing nature of the investigation. More information is expected to emerge as the case progresses.
