A homeless man was brutally murdered and dismembered with at least one power tool in his killer’s high rise flat, before his body parts were thrown out of the window, according to police.
The horrific incident took place on Friday night at a tower block in the city of Manchester, England. Police were alerted by residents who reported seeing human remains falling from the 16th floor of the building.
Officers arrived at the scene and discovered a severed head, torso, arms and legs scattered on the ground and on the roof of a nearby car park. They also found blood stains and traces of flesh on the window of the flat where the murder occurred.
The victim has been identified as a 40-year-old homeless man who had been staying at the flat with the suspect, a 34-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder. Police believe the suspect used a saw or a drill to cut up the victim’s body, before throwing the parts out of the window.
