SON ADMITS TO HACKING UP HIS BRONX MOTHER AND DUMPING HER BODY AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD IN DUFFEL BAGS



Tanya Byrd

A Bronx lunatic hacked up his mother and dumped her remains all over the neighborhood yesterday because the woman told him to grow up and move out. The body parts of Tanya Byrd, 45, a home health aide and devoted mother of three, were found in four locations around Morrisania beginning at around 4 a.m. by a father and son walking their dog. Her troubled son, Bahsid McLean, 23, confessed to the horrific crime — telling cops he did it, “basically because his mom wanted him to grow up and move out and be a man,” said a law-enforcement source.

Her body parts were wrapped in plastic, with some stuffed in luggage, cops said.

Police discovered a saw blade and gloves in their apartment, which reeked of bleach, the law-enforcement sources said. A box for a new Black & Decker handsaw was found in the apartment, but the tool was missing.

McLean, being held with charges pending last night, told cops he chopped up his mother in the bathtub, where he drained the blood, the sources said.

 Pedes-trians yesterday hustle past a suitcase containing the body parts of tragic Tanya Byrd.

He and an unidentified pal were seen on surveillance video hauling the bags out of the house, the sources said. After at first confessing to the crime, he changed his story and said his cohort killed her.

“He and another guy are blaming each other,” said a law-enforcement source. “He’s constantly changing his story as we find more physical evidence. There’s no question he did it.”

The dog walkers who found some of the remains picked up two bags thinking they contained books, law-enforcement sources said.

They later realized it contained an arm and leg and called cops in a panic.

McLean was arrested for stealing cash from his mother in 2009.

His grandfather said the man was diagnosed with schizophrenia and was institutionalized for much of his childhood.
