Even If You Can Go Home Again, You Won’t Want To See What Your Crazy-Ass Mother Did

I have to say, this would make for a totally outrageous third act:

Estranged from his father, a gay Brooklyn man came home yesterday to make peace, only to make a horrifying discovery: His mother had been hiding his dad’s corpse in the family’s apartment for three years, police sources said.

. . .

Her horrific secret was exposed when her 38-year-old son, Paul Iversen, knocked on the apartment door early yesterday. He had not been home since he came out of the closet well before his dad’s death, the sources said.

“I want to see Dad,” Paul Iversen told his mom, the sources said. “I want to make everything right.”

The elderly woman — who almost never allowed anyone into her Bay Ridge apartment — opened the door, sources said. “He’s in the bedroom,” she told her son.

Paul Iversen walked through the filthy apartment and to his horror found the skeletal remains of his dad, Frank Iversen, 75, in a fetal position under a pile of bed covers and clothes, the sources said.

And here’s the kicker:

At the 68th Precinct stationhouse, Joanne Iversen told cops that she and her husband had made a pact to hide the death of whoever passed away first so the surviving spouse could continue collecting Social Security benefits.

“He died of natural causes,” she told cops, the sources said. “It was three years ago.”

Detectives questioned the woman for several hours, but released her last night without filing charges. Cops were investigating whether she illegally obtained Social Security checks since her husband’s death.

A police source said Joanne Iversen had told another estranged son she had buried her husband years ago.

Tenants in the Bay Ridge Parkway apartment building between Ridge Blvd. and Third Ave. said they noticed Frank Iversen, a quiet man who had worked as a painter, hadn’t been around in years. But his wife always told them he had moved upstate.

“I always wondered if he was dead in there,” said neighbor Bonnie King. “Frank just disappeared. There was no explanation.” Other residents said there were clues, but no one put it all together.

“There were odor issues in that apartment,” said Carole Clements, 64. “We complained a lot, but I would have never guessed there was a body inside.”

Kenyan Finds Diplomatic Immunity Less Robust Than Expected

Apparently there are some limits to diplomatic immunity:

An international custody battle is brewing over the children of a Kenyan diplomat who was arrested for allegedly beating his 9-year-old son at their Queens home.

Fred Matwanga’s diplomatic immunity has saved him from any criminal charges in the abuse case so far — but it didn’t stop officials from the city’s child-welfare agency from taking custody of his children over the weekend.

Sources yesterday said agents from the city’s Administration for Children’s Services put the injured boy and his little sister in a protective home while officials sort out abuse issues involving their father.

And ACS officials are set to meet with the New York City Office of the United Nations this morning to plot their next move — asking Kenya to waive immunity for Matwanga, the second secretary of its mission to the world body, a well-placed source said last night.

If the African country agrees, local authorities would then proceed with prosecuting Matwanga.

But if Kenya refuses to waive immunity for Matwanga, city officials will ask the U.S. State Department to boot him from the country, the source said.

. . .

Matwanga was busted Saturday night after allegedly beating his son on the head with a wooden stick in their home in South Ozone Park. Cops said the diplomat, 38, was also chasing the boy through the house with a knife.

The frightened child fled his home with a bloodied head shortly after 6 p.m. and tried to take refuge with a neighbor.

“My father’s trying to kill us,” the boy said, according to the neighbor, Cindy Raghu, 23.

Despite his desperate pleas, Raghu’s mother was so frightened that she shut the door, leaving the boy to fend for himself, Cindy Raghu said. The child then ran and hid behind some recycling bins in an alley next to the Raghus’ house.

This Story Has Been Reported In Every Major Daily And Weekly And No One Else Took It There . . . Until Now

That the most disgusting headline of the week — no, month — no, year — addresses an equally repulsive topic (off-leash animals) is no excuse. “Passions Unleashed, Doggy Style”:

The escalating battle over the Parks Department’s unofficial policy of allowing dogs off leash in some city parks between the hours of 9 p.m. and 9 a.m. had an official hearing last week.

The Board of Health heard testimony from both sides last Wednesday in Manhattan. A decision by the Board of Health to allow the Parks Department’s unofficial policy would pave the way for Parks to make its unofficial off-leash hours entirely legal.

Currently, the Board of Health requires that dogs be on a leash at all times when in public, but city law also give the Parks Commissioner the power to enact regulations that function as law within city parks, and for 20 years they have allowed dogs to run off their leash for the aforementioned 12 hours, as long as the park is legally open.

Recently, amid growing clamor about the policy, Parks asked the Board of Health to revisit and clarify their own regulations. The hearing was held to gather input on a proposal to allow the unofficial Parks policy, as long as owner could prove that their dogs are licensed and vaccinated. If the Board of Health okays the proposal, Parks would have to do the same and hold their own hearings, but it is unlikely they would shoot down their own rule.

“This unofficial policy has existed for 20 years and there has never been a problem, and I don’t think there is going to be a problem,” predicted Bob Marino, president of NYCdog, who testified last week in favor of allowing dogs off-leash at certain times.

The debate over the unofficial policy has come to a head recently, culminating with a lawsuit filed by the Juniper Park Civic Association (JPCA), testing legally the Parks Department’s authority to set policy. The judge has put that case on hold pending a decision by the Board of Health.

PG-13 Alternate Headline: “Former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum Might Have Called It ‘Man On Dog'”

I Really Wish You Wouldn’t Have Told Me That

The question is which local markets they are referring to:

A Staten Island woman has been charged with illegally importing the heads, limbs and torsos of wild African animals — including a monkey’s arm and the hoof of an antelope — to peddle to local markets.

Mamie Manneh, 38, was arrested earlier this year after a JFK customs official found hacked-up animal heads and haunches in a shipment from Guinea. The contraband animal parts were stashed in a shipment of smoked fish.

A search of Manneh’s home revealed more limbs — including a monkey’s arm — in her garage, authorities said.

Manneh was charged with importing unauthorized goods and pleaded not guilty to the charges in April. She appeared last week before Brooklyn federal Judge Raymond Dearie to request time for her lawyer to get her medical records in order.

It’s Sometimes Hard To Tell Which Borough Has The Most Douchebag Yobbos But Queens Seems To Be Gunning For The Lead

Queens is currently making a case for most yobbo borough. First an interracial couple was beaten in Astoria over the weekend:

The couple was leaving a friend’s house party in Astoria Saturday night heading for the subway station a few blocks away when they were accosted by an apparently drunk and unruly group yelling racial slurs outside a bar on 34th Street.

“We turn around and . . . all three of these guys are on him and I ran over to try and push them off and one of the guys punched me in my face, punched me in my head,” Tiffany said.

Eventually, someone called police and two people were arrested: 26-year-old Angelo Pisquariello and 16-year-old Antoinette Pisquariello. Gang assault and robbery are just some of the charges against them.

Today, there are reports of a group of Broad Channel yobbos assaulting a black police officer:

Four people were arrested in Queens yesterday when an egg-throwing incident turned into a melee with a small crowd hurling racial taunts at a black detective trying to arrest a white teen, authorities said.

The scuffle occurred on Cross Bay Boulevard and West 10th Road in Broad Channel at 4:30 p.m. when Patrick Rich, 17, allegedly tossed eggs at an unmarked police cruiser.

When the detective got out of the car and tried to arrest Rich, the teen jumped on his back to avoid being cuffed, witnesses said. Rich’s 44-year-old mother, Patricia, then intervened by shouting at the detective to stop.

At the same time, Nicholas Stack, 16, pushed the detective while Robert Glade, 22, shouted racial slurs at him, police said.
