Police arrested Bashid McLean, who allegedly killed and dismembered his mother, Tanya Byrd, 52, stuffed her body parts into garbage bags and dumped the bags in four South Bronx locations. The 23-year-old posed as he took a picture from his cellphone, with what appears to be his mother’s severed head, according to sources.
McLean was arrested after a dog-walker spied his mother’s leg protruding from a pile of garbage near the apartment where she was butchered. Sources said he later confessed to the horrifying homicide.
McLean remained in jail after his Thursday court appearance. Family members referred to him as,” deranged” and verifed that the suspect has a history of violence.
