Roommate busted for murder of 65-year-old whose remains were found in suitcase floating in East River: cops

Christian Millet, 23, has been charged with the murder of his 65-year-old roommate, Edwin Echevarria, after Echevarria's dismembered body was found in a suitcase in the East River. Millet is accused of violently attacking Echevarria during a dispute over food, resulting in multiple stab wounds and dismemberment. After police discovered the suitcase, Millet confessed to the crime when officers executed a search warrant at their shared apartment. He had no prior arrests and awaits arraignment following the shocking incident.

Millet allegedly confessed to knocking Echevarria to the ground, stomping him on the head and using a makeshift ice pick to stab him 14 times.

The savage killing appears to have stemmed from a fight between the roommates over food, according to the sources.
