A 45-year-old Staten Island man was found decapitated in his bathtub on Monday, and his girlfriend’s 19-year-old son is in custody.
The teen’s 16-year-old sister found the body when she came home from school on Monday afternoon and her brother told her he “did something bad,” sources told The New York Post.
The girl walked through the home, through multiple blood trails, and eventually found the body, the sources said. A knife was sticking out of the victim’s neck.
A friend told the Post the victim was a sanitation worker who had been forced onto disability because of severe vision loss.
Investigators have not publicly named the victim or the suspect, and no formal charges have been filed.
Multiple people, including the teen’s mother, said he suffered from mental health issues, WNBC reported.
