The Louisville Metro Police Department Homicide Unit has arrested the boyfriend of the woman found dead inside a dumpster on Friday afternoon.
Police arrested 59-year-old Georges Edward Stokes on Saturday around 5:30 p.m. and charged him with tampering with physical evidence and abuse of a corpse.
Stokes told police he found the victim unresponsive when he got back to his apartment. He then admitted to putting her in the garbage bin and taking it to the curb for pick up.
The cause of death has not been determined.
The discovery was made around noon Friday on Phyllis Avenue at 7th Street.
Sanitation workers found the victim as they dumped the trash can into the garbage truck. She did not have any clothes on and her body was badly decomposed.
