Suspect charged with murder six weeks after Brooklyn girlfriend’s dismembered body found stuffed in suitcases: sources (EXCLUSIVE)

A suspect has been charged with murder six weeks after his girlfriend’s dismembered body was found stuffed into two suitcases in her Brooklyn home, law enforcement sources said Monday.

Justin Williams, 23, was charged Monday with the slaying of 22-year-old D’Asia Johnson, the sources said.

Johnson’s life came to a horrific end after months of beatings and broken bones she suffered at the hands of Williams, neighbors previously told the Daily News.

Justin Williams is pictured outside the Nassau County Courthouse in Mineola, New York, on Monday, Oct. 3, 2022.

Police found Johnson’s decomposing remains Sept.21 in her blood-splattered bathroom on Linwood St. near Atlantic Ave. in Cypress Hills on Sept. 21.

Her dismembered body was found jammed into suitcases, next to a meat cleaver. She died of multiple stab wounds to her torso, an autopsy later revealed.

Johnson’s boyfriend would routinely beat her in the hallway, the woman’s friend and neighbor told the Daily News.

“He broke her ribs, her legs, a couple months ago,” Stephanie Harris said after the grisly find. “She came back, she was on crutches. And he broke her apartment down, broke the TVs in her apartment. And I cried to her, like ‘Listen, I don’t want to see you on the news.’”

Medical Examiner's office personnel and NYPD officers and detectives investigate a dismembered body found in an apartment building on Linwood St. in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn on Sep. 21.

Police arrested Williams on Oct. 1 on an unrelated assault, grand larceny and bail jumping case n Nassau County. He’s been locked up since that arrest, and Nassau County Assistant District Attorney Brittany Gurrieri revealed in court that Williams was a person of interest in Johnson’s slaying.

Williams’ appearance in Nassau court also revealed that he had another girlfriend, who was using Johnson’s benefits card after her death.
