Boruch Dayan HaEmes - Leiby Kletzky A"H


The dismembered body of a missing 9-year-old Hasidic boy has been found at two locations in Brooklyn and police early today arrested a Kensington man in connection with the slaying, sources tell The Post.

Body parts stuffed in a suitcase were found in a Dumpster at 20th Street and Fourth Avenue early this morning and more remains were the suspect's home 2 miles away, and police believe the body is Leibby Kletzky, who disappeared Monday while on his way to meet his parents.
Police stormed a Kensington home just before 4 a.m. and arrested a 35-year-old man who told cops where to find the body, sources said. He is currently being held at the 67th Precinct; Investigators tracked him down by tracing credit-card purchases and through video surveillance footage.

Body parts stuffed in a suitcase were found hidden in the Dumpster, and more were found at the suspect's home at Avenue C and and East Second Avenue. State Assemblyman Dov Hikind said called it "a very brutal murder." A witness said cops stormed the home on East Second Street between 3:30 and 4 a.m., and brought out a handcuffed man who had a small beard and was wearing a triangular cap. A gold car that may be the one Kltezky was last seen entering was found at the home, and investigators were seen going over the vehicle inch by inch.

The "angleic" 9-year-old vanished Monday after getting lost while walking alone for the first time from his Borough Park day camp and then following a man down a busy street in the tight-knit Hasidic community, sparking a desperate search that included the FBI. He was last seen on surveillance video around 45th Street and Dahill Road walking behind a bearded man in a white shirt and dark pants.

NYPD Commissioner Ray Kelly speaks to reporters about the discovery of the likely remains of missing Brooklyn 8-year-old Leibby Kletzky, and evidence that led to the arrest of 35-year-old Levi Aron for the boy's murder.

This is such a sad thing, an innocent was taken. Liebby, you didn’t make it to moon in this lifetime, but with your outstretched arm, you’ve slipped the surly bonds of earth and gone to touch the face of God. RIP
