Siblings of a man whose body parts were found scattered throughout Long Island said one of the four people charged in the case is the victim's cousin.Steven Brown, 44, and Amanda Wallace, 40, appeared in court Monday on charges tied to the discovery of several body parts, including a woman's head, in three separate locations. The remains belong to a 53-year-old man and a 59-year-old woman, who police have yet to publicly identify.
According to prosecutors, the four allegedly used butcher knives and meat cleavers to dismember the victims' bodies.
