A convicted sex offender has been arrested and charged with hiding a woman’s head and other body part in his freezer after dumping other remains at a New York City waste-sorting station.
Somorie Moses, 40, was taken into custody at around 12.15am Sunday at his home in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn, where investigators with the New York City Police Department executed a search and found a woman's head, hands and feet stuffed inside the freezer.
The grisly discovery was made just days after workers at the Metropolitan Transfer Station on Halleck Street in the Hunts Points section of The Bronx came upon a female torso and a leg without a foot in the trash.
So far, Moses has been charged with concealment of a human corpse and tampering with evidence, but police say the suspect could face more serious charges once the autopsy on the victim is complete.
The dismembered woman has not been identified as of Monday morning, and the Medical Examiner’s Office has yet to determine a cause of death.
Investigators believe the victim may have been a prostitute who knew Moses, according to
DNAInfo New York.
Employees at the privately owned Metropolitan Transfer Station unearthed a woman's torso and leg at 4.40am last Tuesday and notified the NYPD.

Moses was arraigned on Sunday in Bronx Supreme Court and ordered held without bail after a prosecutor argued that he was a flight risk and revealed that at the time of his arrest, the suspect knocked over a police officer during a failed attempt to flee, according to the
New York Daily News.
