A Brooklyn man faces murder and criminal possession of a weapon charges in connection with the dismemberment of a woman.
Police say when they responded to a 911 call from 53-year-old Saleh Al-Muwallad Sunday night, they found the dismembered body of a woman inside a Coney Island home.
Police say he told them he had been drinking and killed someone.
Al-Muwallad was then taken into custody and given a psychiatric evaluation.
Family and friends have identified the woman as 27-year-old Jessica Giudici. They say Al-Muwallad is a Livery driver who used to pick her up all the time and may have been infatuated with her.
"She was a loving person. She was my best friend. She was her mother's best friend, her backbone. She helped out everyone. She was there for everybody. She hurt no one. She was always laughing. She was loving and giving. She would give you the world if she had it," said Michelle Cooper, a friend of Giudici's.
The medical examiner is working to determine the exact cause of death.
