A passerby made a gruesome discovery of a shallow grave at a Norwich, Connecticut park on May 7 locating the remains of a Brooklyn man presumed slain by his brother.
The family of 44-year-old Martin Wright had long pled for the suspect, McMillian Wright, to reveal the whereabouts of the victim's body after he was accused of murdering him.
The murder came to investigators' scrutiny on Feb. 7 when a woman walked into the police precinct and revealed that McMillian shot his younger brother in the head before asking 43-year-old Craig Smith to help dispose of the body.
McMillian, 45, was arrested on March 27 in Binghamton and is facing murder charges. His accomplice was busted on April 13 and charged with evidence tampering and concealment of a human corpse.
“If we could speak to him, I would tell him like, 'Please, just tell the truth,'” the victim's daughter said referring to her incarcerated uncle.
“You know, give us all the closure we need...Everyone deserves a proper burial. Everyone deserves it and that's all we need.”
On May 7, a tipster called 911 to report spotting a human footing jutting from the ground in Mohegan Park. The remains were confirmed to be Martin Wright's.
McMillian is set to appear in Brooklyn Supreme Court on June 14.
