Cambridge Police spokesman has a long history of explaining what he does not know. Here he cites the District Attorney's office ruling the human remains as a homicide. Last time I saw Law and Order it was the job of the Medical Examiner to make such judgments. Warnick likes to do this for the ME but this time he cites the DA. Thoughtful of the police to employ him, to help keep the public misinformed.

Colina previously worked out at the Cambridge Athletic Club but was kicked out following a fight over gym equipment on November 24.
A witness told the Herald how Colina started punching a much smaller man all over his body as the man unsuccessfully tried to fight back. He suffered bloody cuts to his head, the witness said.
'The trainers broke the fight up,' he said. 'Carlos gets up and starts walking away, yelling, "I'm a beast! I'm a beast!’ like he was proud of himself.'
The victim suffered broken ribs in the attack, WHDH reported.
Colina has an outstanding assault and battery case pending against him from the fight.

Colina is believed to have known his alleged victim; he is friends with his younger brother, Christopher Camilien, on Facebook. The two brothers lived together in Somerville.
Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said Camilien's death is considered a homicide, even though Colina has not been charged with murder. She said analysis of evidence and more information from the medical examiner are needed to determine if additional charges are warranted.
'We are not seeking anyone else in connection with the discovery of these human remains,' she said.
No motive has been released.

“It’s a senseless killing of a trusting young man who trusted a good friend — and look what happened to him,” said Dominique Camilien, uncle of Jonathan Camilien, whose mutilated remains were discovered in two locations in Cambridge on Saturday. “We want to know how something like this could even happen. The family needs to find some closure and understanding to help them through this nightmare.”
After parts of Camilien’s butchered body were found stuffed in a duffel bag around 8 a.m., detectives reviewing surveillance video captured near the scene were led to a nearby apartment building, where they found more bags containing body parts — including the missing limbs and head, according to court documents.
Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan said Camilien's death is considered a homicide, even though Colina has not been charged with murder. She said analysis of evidence and more information from the medical examiner are needed to determine if additional charges are warranted.

“They were friends. They’ve known each other for quite a while, and I cannot speculate about what happened because I don’t know all the details,” Camilien said. “(Jonathan) is a good kid, he doesn’t bother anybody. He’s just an easygoing kid. ... It’s one of those things we didn’t ever expect to happen — not to Jonathan. He didn’t deserve this.”Aime Camilien said Jonathan’s brother Christopher has been “inconsolable.”
“That’s his best friend. They lived together. They were like a unit. We used to always call them Chris and Johnny, they’re like twins,” she said through tears. “We’re all still trying to make sense of it. He was a good kid who came from a good family.

A man who worked out at the Cambridge Athletic Club before Colina was kicked out over a Nov. 24 fight said he had noticed disturbing behavior.
The witness who spoke to police about the gym fight, for which Colina is still facing assault charges, said after learning of the new charges, “My stomach felt sick once I realized I had a connection, however faint, to this guy. It just made me sick.”
The 26-year-old Boston man, who spoke to the Herald on the condition of anonymity, said, “Maybe two months before the fight, we saw Carlos ask some people when they’d be done with the equipment they were using. They said they’d be done very soon. But Carlos stood there and glared at them.”
Of the November fight, he said, “Carlos outweighed him probably by more than 100 pounds. Carlos was punching him all over the body, and the other guy was trying to fight back. He started bleeding. There was a lot of blood coming from his head. ... The trainers broke the fight up, and Carlos gets up and starts walking away, yelling, ‘I’m a beast! I’m a beast!’ like he was proud of himself. The gym manager told him to get his things and get out of there.”

[From article]
Colina's attorney John Cunha maintained his client's innocence in court, entering a not guilty plea on his behalf. “Our hearts go out to the deceased,” Cunha told reporters. “I can't imagine a worse loss.”
A police report filed in court indicates that surveillance footage shows a man dropping off the duffel bag outside the global headquarters of pharmaceutical giant Biogen at 225 Binney St. around 7:54 a.m. Saturday. The bag contained a headless torso with its arms severed below the armpits and its legs dismembered from below the knee, records state.
Investigators used surveillance footage to then track the suspect to his nearby apartment on Sixth Street where police said cameras captured him and the victim leaving and returning at different times the previous night.
After entering the apartment building, police said they found a bag containing what appeared to be a foot in a common trash room on the third floor and detected vacuum cleaner noises and a strong odor of bleach coming from Colina's apartment down the hall.
Later, a medical examiner determined that other white garbage bags found in the same trash room contained the missing limbs and a head, along with credit cards and a license belonging to the victim. An autopsy also revealed trauma to the victim's face, head and body, officials said.
After obtaining a warrant, detectives who searched Colina's apartment said they found a piece of rope, a handsaw with a broken handle and what appeared to be dried red-brown stains on its blade, cleaning supplies, and what seemed like tool marks inside a bath tub. Where pieces of a carpet had been removed, investigators found dried red-brown stains on the floor, the report said.

The duffel bag was found shortly before 8am near a building used by biotechnology company Biogen Inc. and a block from a police station, Middlesex District Attorney Marian T. Ryan said.
Video surveillance of the area led police to an apartment complex across the street where additional human remains were found in a common area, authorities said.

The neighborhood where the duffel bag was found includes Kendall Square near the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Harvard Square.
The Biogen building was cordoned off with caution tape Saturday morning as investigators examined the bag. A spokesman for Biogen referred all inquiries to police.
The chief assured residents of the apartment building that they were safe and said officers would remain there for the rest of the evening.
Residents who left the building were allowed to re-enter only after showing proof they lived there; officers would then escort them to their apartments.

One person was arrested after the gruesome discovery of human remains in a duffel bag near a walking path in Cambridge yesterday morning led authorities to a nearby apartment building where more discarded body parts were found, officials said.
“Officers responded to that area, opened that bag and determined the bag contained human remains,” Middlesex District Attorney Marian T. Ryan said of the grisly find near the intersection of Binney and Sixth streets at approximately 8 a.m.
After reviewing surveillance video captured near where the duffel bag was found, detectives went to Kendall Crossing Apartments, located adjacent to the Cambridge Police Department, where “additional human remains were found (in) a common area,” Ryan said.
It is unclear whether the body parts belong to the same victim, Ryan said, though she added investigators “believe it to be one person.”
One unidentified suspect has been arrested in connection with the horrific discovery, Ryan said, and will be arraigned tomorrow in Cambridge District Court on charges of being an accessory after the crime of assault and battery causing serious bodily injury and the improper disposal of human remains.
Cambridge police Commissioner Robert C. Haas stressed that authorities don’t believe there is an active threat to area residents.
