Bronx District Attorney Darcel D. Clark announced that two people have been indicted for Murder and related charges for killing and dismembering a man and transporting his mutilated body on the Metro North train to Yonkers where they burned it.
District Attorney Clark said “The defendants allegedly killed and mutilated a man, and then took some remains, in a shopping cart, on a Metro North train to Yonkers where they burned the cart. This was brutal disregard for a human being.”
Muhammad Aadil, 40, of 811 Gerard Avenue was arraigned on September 23, 2024 on second-degree Murder, first-degree Manslaughter, Concealment of a Human Corpse, Criminal Possession of a Firearm, five counts of Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance and fourthdegree Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance, before Bronx Supreme Court Justice Brenda Rivera. Aadil was remanded and is due back in court on December 19, 2024. His codefendant, Ronei Harris, 18, of 913 Kelly Street will be arraigned at a later date.
According to the investigation, the defendants, acting in concert, between July 27, 2024, and August 5, 2024, killed Lutalo Henderson, 46, after a dispute in the home Aadil shared with Henderson. The defendants cut off his legs below the knees, his hands and removed his jaw. They wrapped the torso in trash bags and took it in a shopping cart to Yonkers via the Metro North train. They set the cart on fire under the Oak Street Bridge. Investigators were led to an apartment on Rogers Place, where they recovered the body parts.
District Attorney Clark thanked NYPD Detective Kevin Mockel of the Bronx Homicide Squad, NYPD Detective Jessica Gonzalez and NYPD Officer Mark Dutan of the 41 Precinct, and Detective Michael DeRosa of the Yonkers Police Department for their work on the case.
An indictment is an accusatory instrument and not proof of a defendant’s guilt.
