A 75-year-old Queens man was busted Wednesday in the murder of his much-younger wife \u2013 whose dismembered remains<\/a> were found scattered across the borough several months apart, cops and sources said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rupchand Simboo, 75, was arrested for murder around 10:25 a.m. inside the South Ozone Park home where he lived with Salisha Ali, 34 \u2014 who hailed from Trinidad and Tobago, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Simboo and Ali met back in 2023 and maintained a long-distance relationship while she was living in Trinidad and Tobago, law enforcement sources said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She moved to Queens in 2024, and the pair eventually got married, according to the sources.<\/p>\n

The investigation began after a torso later determined to belong to Ali was found by Sanitation workers <\/a>stuffed in a trash bag on Sept. 22, 2025, near Idlewood Park, a marshland close to JFK Airport, cops and sources said.<\/p>\n

The decomposed torso was missing its head, arms, and legs \u2014 and was wrapped in tape and rope, according to cops.<\/p>\n

The torso had \u201cseveral unique and identifiable tattoos,\u201d <\/a>NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny previously said of that discovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe doctor further states that he believes that straight edge instruments, such as a knife was used to cut through the soft tissue, and some sort of saw was used to cut through the bone,\u201d the chief said of a forensic anthropologist who was reviewing the case.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Then, on March 5, detectives investigating the case found a human head at the Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge \u2013 about 10 miles from the first scene \u2013 and established the link, the sources said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The exact circumstances of the murder, and where and when it took place, were under investigation Wednesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Simboo bizarrely filed a missing report for her that same day, according to the sources.<\/p>\n

The senior has one prior arrest from October in connection to the misdemeanor assault of a stranger during a dispute on Liberty Avenue near Forbell Street in Ozone Park, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Simboo, who was also charged with obstructing governmental administration and tampering with physical evidence in the new case, was awaiting arraignment late Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 75-year-old Queens man was busted Wednesday in the murder of his much-younger wife \u2013 whose dismembered remains…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160966,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[37],"tags":[303,1015,3290,57,238,9,24,63,122,124,123,58],"class_list":["post-160965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-queens","tag-crime","tag-deaths","tag-domestic-violence","tag-metro","tag-murders","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-queens","tag-queens-headlines","tag-queens-news","tag-us-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160965","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=160965"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/160965\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160966"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160965"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=160965"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=160965"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
