Somorie Moses's mugshot.

A Brooklyn man was officially charged with murder on Thursday, just days after a woman's head, hands, and feet were found in his freezer. 40-year-old Somorie Moses was originally only charged with concealing a human corpse, as well as evidence tampering, but local prosecutors think they now have enough evidence to upgrade those charges.

Moses, who is said to be a longtime pimp, caught the attention of the NYPD last week after a torso and limbs were found by a worker at a nearby garbage collection station. The police then tracked those bags back to his apartment and surprised him with a search warrant. In addition to the butchered body parts, blood was also found splattered around his apartment. Moses apparently tried to conceal those blood stains with bleach, though he did so without much luck. Cops are also currently testing for DNA on a pair of blood soaked men's and women's clothes.

The victim of the grisly crime is 32-year-old Leondra Foster, who was reportedly both a known sex worker and Moses's live-in girlfriend. On one of the severed feet she had a tattoo of Moses's name. Foster's father, Kenneth, previously told The New York Post that she had been abused by Moses prior to her death. He also told them that he and his wife had made an effort to get her to leave him. "He has a thing against women,” Kenneth told The Post. “We tried to get her to leave him, but she would just get mad at us. I guess she had battered-woman syndrome."

In 2006, Moses was arrested and charged with promoting the prostitution of a girl under 16. Because of that he had to register as a Level 2 sex offender. Not surprisingly, He is currently being held without bail.
