Roommate grilled in grisly B’klyn slay

DETECTIVES WERE grilling a man they believe hacked up a 26-year-old woman whose remains were found strewn about a Brooklyn park, sources said Saturday night.

The suspect, believed to be victim Brandy Odom’s roommate, was taken into custody at his home on 148th Road near 253rd St. in Rosedale. No charges were immediately filed.

Detectives zeroed in on the unidentified man after he made incriminating statements about Odom’s disappearance, sources said.

The NYPD has also recovered video evidence that shows him backing up his car into his driveway and putting large plastic bags — believed to be holding Odom’s dismembered remains — into the trunk.

“Usually he parks head-in,” one source said. “But this time he backs up the car into the driveway. That was already suspicious.”

Adding to the suspicion, a cadaver dog belonging to the Emergency Service Unit got a hit on the trunk, sources said.

Cops secured the address and were awaiting warrants to allow them to comb the apartment. Odom’s mother, alerted to the news by a reporter, said she was cautiously optimistic. “If it’s true, that’s great,” Nicole Odom told the Daily News. “But I don’t want to get my hopes up until I know it’s true.”

The possible break in the case comes roughly three weeks after a dog walker found Odom’s head and torso in a wooded area in Canarsie Park — just a few blocks from her relative’s apartment.

Cops recovered the dead woman’s severed limbs in the park following an exhaustive search of the greenspace. A serrated blade, described as a small saw, was also found in a garbage can inside the park, cops said.

A tattoo over Odom’s left breast — spelling out her nickname, “Chocolate” — helped police identify her.

Detectives believe Odom was dismembered and her remains dumped in the park within 24 hours of her death.

The medical examiner’s office has yet to release an official determination of how Odom died, but police said they’re investigating the case as a homicide.

A funeral for Odom was held Thursday.

On the same day, police admitted that they had yet to receive a single tip on her killing.

“We have a significant amount of resources assigned to this case and solely to this case,” Chief of Detectives Dermot Shea said.

Police said that Odom, who aspired to become a city school safety agent, lived at the Rosedale home with a couple.

A man whom records show lived at the home was arrested in Queens on several charges, including assault and menacing with a weapon, on Jan. 27.

The arrest stemmed from a domestic violence incident, according to online records.

Next-door neighbor Mayra Medina recognized a photo of Odom and said she often heard fighting through her bedroom wall.

“Sometimes I would hear the fighting and then — boom! — someone would punch my bedroom wall,” said Medina, 33.
