From the New York Post: The dead man found hanged from a tree inside a Bronx park last month is a migrant suspected of repeatedly raping a teen relative, law enforcement sources told The Post Thurday.
Manuel Delgado, 43 — an asylum seeker from Peru who had lived in the city for less than a year — is believed to have taken his own life inside Pelham Bay Park on Oct. 9 after his family found out about his alleged ongoing relationship with the teen and reported it to police, the sources said.
Investigators advised the girl to call Delgado while the conversation was being taped, according to the sources.
During the call, the teen allegedly told Delgado she was going to go to the police — but he sickeningly told her he wanted to meet at “the spot where we used to go,” the sources said.
When investigators arrived at the “spot,” which was in a wooded area, at around 1:30 p.m. they found Delgado hanging from a tree.
His body also had cuts on the left forearm, neck and stomach, and his roommate reportedly told police that Delgado had previously texted him to say he’d stabbed himself.
