The man who allegedly killed a New York woman, stuffed her into a suitcase, and dropped the body on the side of the road in Connecticut is in the country illegally, according to Immigration authorities.

Javier Da Silva, 24, a Portuguese national who also holds a passport from Venezuela, entered the United States in May 2017 through the Visa Waiver Program, which enables people to enter America for tourism or business for up to 90 days without needing a visa.
