A Patchogue man used an ax and a shopping cart to cut up a woman’s body and dispose of her remains in three separate locations after she died in his presence last month, prosecutors said at his arraignment on a grand jury indictment.
Gary Cowell, 72, pleaded not guilty to felony counts of concealment of a human corpse and tampering with physical evidence for his alleged actions following the death of Yvette Leonard, 56, of Patchogue, who prosecutors said was last seen heading toward Cowell’s home on Edwards Street June 13.
