body parts found in her own freezer was afraid of the
teenage son who has been charged with murder,
according to neighbors.
Moises Meraz-Espinoza, 18, allegedly stored his
mother's chopped up body parts in the family freezer
for a week, before walking into a Huntington Park
police station and turning himself in on Friday.
Epifanio Hernandez, the apartment's landlord, told
ABC News.com that he spoke with the teen hours
before he went to police to confess the chilling
murder.
For days Meraz-Espinoza, shooed away nosey
neighbors, including the landlord who wanted to
enter the apartment to install a new sink.
"I was putting the new sinks in all of the kitchens for
the apartments," landlord Epifanio Hernanadez told
ABCNews.com. "But he kept saying not now, come
back next week. I think because he didn't want me to
see all the blood."
After police investigated and removed the refrigerator
and freezer as part of the investigation, Hernandez
entered the apartment.
"There was blood still in the shower and on the floor.
A lot of blood," he said.
Hernandez said the teen and his mother "had
problems."
"She was afraid of him," the landlord said. "The
neighbors said they would fight. They had problems
because he would go out at night. People were
worried something might happen."
"The neighbors say they had not seen her for a week,"
Hernandez said.
Authorities have yet to identify the body, said Lt.
Cheryl McWillie, of the L.A. County Corner, and would
not comment until they had done so.
Britain's Daily Mail, "The body does appear to have
been dismembered to some extent."
A spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff said
Meraz-Espinoza had been arrested for "murder in
connection with the death of an individual discovered
in the freezer of a Maywood apartment Friday."
Meraz-Espinoza has yet to be arraigned and is being
held without bail, police said.
He does not have a lawyer at this time.
