A Queens man who allegedly scattered his much-younger wife’s dismembered remains in the city’s wilds was given away by a family tracking app on his phone, prosecutors revealed Thursday.
Rupchand Simboo, 74, was arraigned late Wednesday on murder and concealment of human corpse charges after police linked him to a spate of grisly discoveries across Queens.
Sanitation workers in September found a woman’s decomposed torso – later determined to belong to Simboo’s wife Salisha Ali, 33 – wrapped in a blanket near a wooded area off 149th Avenue and Brookville Boulvard, prosecutors said.
Ali’s head, legs and arm were found last week in the Jamaica Wildlife Refuge during a search that stemmed from an investigation into Simboo’s phone, prosecutors revealed.
Detectives had tracked Simboo’s GPS coordinates through the Life360 app on his phone and found he was in the reserve on July 14 – the day after his wife was last seen alive, according to prosecutors.
He had also been by Brookville Boulevard and 149th Avenue, where Ali’s torso was found, prosecutors said.
