Police believe the dismembered body that turned up in two different locations in New York City is that of Jennifer Londono, a bar manager from New Jersey.

Although DNA tests are pending to make a firm identification, Londono’s mother told police that a tattoo on one of the body parts resembled a tattoo Londono had gotten as a tribute to her late aunt.

In an unusual move, New York police had released a photo of the tattoo in an effort to identify the person behind the body parts. That person is now believed to be Londono, who was reaching her dreams in the bar industry and was remembered for her sweet disposition.

On July 7, The New York Post reported that Londono’s boyfriend, Raphael Lolos, has been accused of the crime.

The grisly discovery occurred in two locations in New York City.

First, according to The New York Daily News, a “woman’s torso from the waist to her knees was found by a couple walking their dog in the Red Hook Channel off the coast of Brooklyn.”

The arms, legs below the knees, and head were removed, according to CBS.

A man who found the body part told The New York Post, “The woman wasn’t just murdered — she was butchered. This body was dismembered and the cuts looked clean, like it was chainsawed.”

Then came another horrific discovery.

A “woman jogging near the 79th St. Boat Basin on the Upper West Side spotted a partial leg and foot with pink-painted toenails,” the Daily News reported.

Police believe the body parts likely belong to the same woman, but they won’t know for sure until DNA tests come back, the newspaper reported.


3. Police Released a Photo of a Sanskrit Tattoo in an Effort to Identify the Remains

Police released photos of the Sanskrit tattoo on the torso in the hope someone would recognize it, and Londono’s mother did.

She told police her daughter had a similar tattoo and that the Sanskrit means “Lily” or “Lilyann” as a tribute to Londono’s late aunt.

The mother saw the tattoo photo on the news and told police it was her daughter’s, reported The Daily News, which added that the cause and death are pending.

The tattoo was located on Londono’s thigh.
