BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Police charged a 15-year-old boy with second-degree murder in the death of his mother, whose body parts were found last month in a suitcase in a canal.
Angel Rosa was charged as an adult in the death of Madeline Irene, 46. Investigators said Rosa gave his mother pills and then strangled her.
Police also charged Edwin Gimenez, 50, with kidnapping and sodomizing Rosa and another child. The Associated Press is not identifying the other victim.
Police say the arrests are linked.
"Gimenez says the kid did it, and the 15-year-old says Gimenez told him to do it," said investigator Anthony Barba. "Gimenez says he only helped with the disposal of the body."
Police Commissioner Rocco Diina said Gimenez befriended Rosa and the other child about a year ago and wielded "tremendous" influence over them.
Parts of Irene's body were first found Aug. 23 in a local channel. A missing-person report was not filed until Sept. 4, when Irene's ex-husband visited from Florida, police said.
