RIVERHEAD, N.Y. (CBSewYork/AP) – A Brooklyn woman has pleaded not guilty to second-degree murder in the killing and dismemberment of a mother of four whose body parts were found on Long Island.

Leah Cuevas was arraigned on indictment charges Thursday in Suffolk County District Court. She’s being held without bail.

Prosecutors say the victim, Chinelle Latoya Thompson Browne, was killed during a July 5 argument in Cuevas’ Brooklyn apartment, where Browne also lived and was paying rent.

Authorities said the women were heard arguing about unpaid rent and utilities prior to Browne’s death.
