HIALEAH, Fla. – Authorities say a South Florida man killed and dismembered another man before dumping some of the remains in garbage bags along tracks where a train scattered them.
Hialeah police spokesman Carl Zogby told local news outlets that police on Thursday arrested 40-year-old William Martinez, adding he faces charges of second-degree murder and abuse of a corpse.
