DECAPITATED BODY OF TECH CEO FOUND IN NYC APARTMENT, SOURCES SAY
Saleh, 33, was last seen on surveillance video in the elevator of his East Houston Street building at around 1:40 p.m. on Monday, riding up to his $2.2 million apartment beside a man wearing a “ninja-like” hood who had followed him into the lift, sources have said.
When the doors opened directly into Saleh’s seventh-floor apartment, the man followed him inside and zapped him with a Taser in the last image captured by the surveillance camera.

A concerned cousin entered the apartment Tuesday to find Saleh had been decapitated and all four of his limbs severed and stuffed into plastic bags, according to sources.
