NEWS PRESSER ON THE DISCOVERY OF BODY OF LEIBY KLETZKY
District Attorney Charles Hynes speaking at the Murder presser of Brookyln Hasidic Boy, LEIBY KLETZKY. 8-year-old Leiby Kletzky was abducted off a Brooklyn street, killed and dismembered had been drugged with painkillers and muscle relaxants before he was smothered. Leiby Kletzky got lost leaving day camp and asked a man, Levi Aron, for help, police said. Detectives later found the boy's severed feet, wrapped in plastic, in Aron's freezer, as well as a cutting board and three bloody carving knives. The rest of the body was discovered in bags inside a red suitcase in a trash bin elsewhere in Brooklyn. Aron has pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and kidnapping. Chief police spokesman Paul Browne said Wednesday that detectives believe the boy was killed sometime late Tuesday afternoon or early Tuesday evening after Aron returned home from work -- which means the boy was likely alive for about a day after he disappeared. Leiby's death was officially ruled a homicide Wednesday. It was caused by intoxication from the combined effects of cyclobenzaprine, a muscle relaxant; quetiapine, an antipsychotic; and the pain medications hydrocodone and acetaminophen, followed by smothering. In this clip the DA says: "Aron then directed the detectives to a dumpster located at 4th avenue and 20th street in Brooklyn where they recovered a suitcase, which contained the head, torso and legs of Leiby Kletzky. LeibyÕs legs had been cut from the torso."
