Headless & floating

- Jazmin Rosa, Tatiana DiBucci

A woman’s headless corpse was found floating off Brooklyn on Tuesday morning, according to witnesses who said it appeared the victim had been deliberate­ly dismembere­d.

“It was brutal,” said a Carroll Gardens man who found the body and asked to remain anonymous. “The woman wasn’t just murdered — she was butchered.”

“This body was dismembere­d and the cuts looked clean, like it was chainsawed.”

The man and his wife spotted the naked, decomposin­g body in Red Hook Channel while walking their dog at around 11:20 a.m.

The legs were also missing parts, and there was a tattoo on the left thigh, he added.

A NYPD spokesman confirmed that cops responded to a call about a body at that time, but couldn’t confirm the man’s claims that the body was brutalized.
