Harvey Marcelin was the center of gossip Saturday in Tompkins Square Park, where acquaintances marveled at the accused killer’s alleged ability to dismember a human being while in a wheelchair.

“She chopped someone’s f—ing head off. She actually severed someone’s head,” blurted Junior, a homeless man in the park frequented by the serial killer.

Marcelin, 83, is a transgender woman and two-time convicted killer charged this month with the gruesome dismemberment murder of Susan Leyden, 68, of Brooklyn, who will be laid to rest Sunday in Paramus, NJ.

Leyden's body parts were found in several Brooklyn locations.

“She was in a f—ing wheelchair,” said John Gallagher, 30, one of killer’s acquaintances in the East Village park.

“I don’t even understand how she did what she did to this last one. She’s so frail. Even disposing the body the way she did, she must have had some type of help.”

“I imagine it’s not that easy even with power tools to dispose of a body. It seems like a lot for an 83-year-old to do, in a wheelchair nonetheless,” said Gallagher, who claims Marcelin “once told me that she wished she had been born a goat and that she was a satanic witch. It was the weirdest thing I’ve ever heard.”

Marcelin was charged last week with the concealment of a human corpse. She has spent more than 50 years in state prison for two past killings.

“It’s unspeakable (Marcelin) was free,” said the friend, who did not want to be identified.

Marcelin shot and killed her live-in girlfriend, Jacqueline Bonds, inside the couple’s Manhattan apartment in April 1963, according to sources, and fatally stabbed another live-in girlfriend in 1985 — stuffing her body into a bag dumped near Central Park. Leyden’s friend says she is unaware of any relationship she may have had with Marcelin.

Geez. Looks like an extra from the ‘Walking Dead’.

I had to deal with restraining a frail seeming old woman having a psychotic fit. I was thirty and in the best shape I’d ever been in. I was barely able to restrain her long enough for the cops to get there and put her in cuffs. The moment the cuffs went on she changed into another person, an old frail little girl sounding woman. From ravening, screaming monster with a knife to a frail little girl in two clicks. My mouth fell open. It was a scene right out of a horror movie.

This isn't a woman. It's a guy.

[No name given]

And a very creepy guy at that.

Very creepy.

In today's Woke Cancel Culture, it gives him a significant advantage in his career as a serial killer.

“This isn’t a woman. It’s a guy.”

I know, but the key is crazy. People having a fit can do things ordinary people can’t. A doctor told me once that normal people have safety mechanisms that prevent them from injuring themselves, while crazy people have no safety mechanism and mostly don’t even notice if they’ve injured themselves. So, if a woman can do something like I described imagine what a man could do.

How many people has this grotesque killed and gotten away with the killing?

[MAGAthon]

presumably he was in a men’s prison previously;
if/when convicted this time, where will he serve his time?

Yikes! What is that?!? Give us a warning next time.

Wheelchair or not, with MAN arm muscles it wouldn’t be difficult to be gruesome.

acquaintances “marveled”.....that is all we need to know about our society today..

IT AIN'T A "SHE"!

Demons are strong. When you are dealing with that, it’s demonic.
