Police have arrested the boyfriend of a dismembered New Jersey woman who was found floating in Brooklyn, after her blood was reportedly found in his bathtub.
Raphael Lolos was taken into custody on Thursday on suspicion of murdering Jennifer Londono, 31, of Englewood, after she was reported missing on June 25.
Londono’s torso was found floating in Brooklyn on June 27 and she was identified by her mother, who noted the Sanskrit tattoo on the woman’s right hip.
Officials had been interviewing Lolos as part of their investigation and said he had been consistently using his dead girlfriend’s credit cards after she disappeared.
The 40-year-old was charged on Friday with murder, stalking and desecration of human remains.
Authorities said Lolos dismembered Londono in her home state before tossing her remains into the Hudson River, according to PIX 11.
The news outlet reported the man had repeatedly used Londono’s credit cards up until he was arrested.
After being arrested, Lolos suffered a medical episode and was taken to the hospital.
His first court appearance will be arranged after he is released from medical care.
An earlier source told the New York Post there had been some ‘inconsistencies’ in Lolos’ story before he was arrested.
The same source claims that a search of his apartment uncovered blood which belonged to Londono in the boyfriend’s bathtub.
Last week, her headless and decomposing body was found floating near the rocks off Pier 44 in Red Hook, Brooklyn.
The body was identified after police released a photo of a tattoo the corpse had on its right hip.
Londono’s mother came to the 76th Precinct station house Thursday, saying her daughter had the same tattoo in the same place.
