A grand jury handed up a notice of indictment Thursday against Michael Cammarata and his pregnant girlfriend Ayisha Egea, according to a spokesman with the Richmond County DA’s office.

The exact charges contained in the indictment remain sealed, as the couple have yet to be arraigned. No court date has been set.

Cammarata, 42, and Egea, 41, were previously charged with second-degree murder, tampering with evidence and concealing a human corpse in the death of Jeanine Cammarata — whose decomposing remains were discovered surrounded by air fresheners in a storage unit in Staten Island’s Arden Heights.

The 37-year-old’s body had been so badly burned the medical examiner required dental records to identify her.

Jeanine and Michael, who have been separated since May 2016, were embroiled in a custody battle over their two young children when she vanished on March 30.

Cammarata and Egea remain held without bond.
