NYPD officials said officers arrested Lower East Side resident Christian Millet around 9 p.m. Wednesday in connection with the death of Edwin Echevarria, 65, whose torso was found last week after a ferry crew spotted the suitcase in the river near Governors Island. Both men lived in the same apartment at NYCHA’s Baruch Houses, according to police.

The human remains found in a suitcase floating in the East River have been identified as Edwin Echevarria, 65, who was allegedly murdered by 23-year-old Christian Miller.

The NYPD has arrested the roommate of a man whose dismembered body was found floating inside a suitcase in the East River last week—after the two had been fighting about food, sources said.
