Elizabeth added that upon forcing their way into the bedroom, they discovered body parts packed in 5 cement bags.

‘’We tried searching for her without success and made calls, but the phone was not being picked up, so we had to storm his house to ask about his whereabouts, but he was hesitant and started to threaten us.’’
