A New Jersey man who was kicked out of a Trenton apartment is now facing charges after the landlord discovered decaying remains of his girlfriend inside a closet.
44-year-old David Gibson was charged Wednesday with the desecration of human remains found in a trash bag inside a closet in his former home on December 23.
Gibson, who was arrested on January 11, admitted to hiding his deceased girlfriend's body after he found her unresponsive last July.
The suspect claimed that he tried to revive the woman, identified as Kirshon Smith, unsuccessfully and left her body in the bed for “approximately 10-14 days.”
He then decided to place the remains in a trash bag he put in the closet. Gibson was kicked out of the Beatty Street residence in November.
The landlord called 911 after he made the gruesome discovery while cleaning the apartment.
