Judge Ceresia orders new DNA test in Troy suitcase killing

Rensselaer County prosecutors moved one step closer Friday to charging convicted felon Johnny Oquendo with the 2015 murder of his 21-year-old stepdaughter, Noel Alkaramla, whose remains were found in a suitcase in the Hudson River. Rensselaer County Judge Andrew Ceresia granted a request by District Attorney Joel Abelove to have police take a buccal — or cheek swab — sample of Oquendo's DNA, which will be tested against blood and body fluids found in the remains of Alkaramla, whose body was found in a suitcase that washed up in Albany nearly six weeks after she vanished on Nov.
