No confirmation body parts found in separate states are GT mom’s

LONG Island and New York City police are investigating whether human remains found in Bay Shore and Hempstead are that of a Guyanese woman who recently went missing in Brooklyn, according to sources.The woman, Chinelle Latoya Browne, 27, who is originally from South Ruimveldt, Georgetown, was reported missing to the New York City police, the sources said. Police in Suffolk, Nassau and New York are waiting for medical examiners to identify the remains, the sources said.

On Wednesday, a severed arm was found on the front lawn of a home in Hempstead, and a source said authorities were trying to determine if it was related to a female body found Tuesday in Suffolk.
Hempstead police blocked off part of Webb Avenue near Washington Avenue with yellow crime scene tape Wednesday afternoon.

The Suffolk County police homicide commander, Det. Lt. Kevin Beyrer, was also seen at the Webb Avenue home. The Nassau County police homicide squad and police K-9’s were also on the scene.
Jose Diaz, 56, a deli owner who since 1989 has lived at the home where the arm was found, said his wife’s brother, Noel Rivera, discovered what appeared to be a human arm in their front yard about 2 pm Wednesday and called 911.

Diaz said the arm was on a grass and dirt area just inside of a white picket fence lining the front of the property.

“He almost passed out,” Diaz said, referring to Rivera. Investigators removed the arm and about an 8-foot section of the fence, which had some blood on it, Diaz said. Diaz said he does not have surveillance cameras outside his home, and while it was scary that a body part was found in his front yard, he was not surprised. “Anybody can pass by and drop anything,” he said.

Neighbours expressed shock at the gruesome discovery. “It’s just shaken the whole community to see something like this,” said Jim Allison, 32, a labourer who lives across the street.

Suffolk police confirmed its investigators were involved and said the body part was sent to the Nassau medical examiner’s office. Suffolk police had said Tuesday they were investigating the discovery of the partially dismembered, unidentified female body in a weed-strewn lot in Bay Shore. Beyrer had said two passersby called police after seeing the body as they walked to the Fire Island Ferries at about 6:50 a.m.
Police had no comment on the approximate age of the victim.

Beyrer said Tuesday that authorities were looking into missing-persons reports.

Chinelle migrated to the United States last year May and returned here April this year for two weeks and then went back to the US. However, she went missing last Saturday. Her New York address was 346 Sumter Street, Brooklyn.

Browne has four children – three-year-old twins Ariel and Michaela, five-year-old Jonathan and seven-year-old Gabrielle Browne, and they all reside in Guyana with their father.
