NORTH HILLS, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The remains found buried at a North Hills home Tuesday have been identified as a missing 35-year-old man from Guatemala, and the suspect linked to the murder remains in custody, police say.

Russell Robinson, 48, was booked on suspicion of murder in the death of Carlos DeLeon, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. Robinson was being held without bail, the LAPD reported.

"Information was received that DeLeon was deceased and buried in a rear yard of a residence in the 16200 block of Community Court, in the city of North Hills,'' police said in a statement.
