DETROIT – A Michigan man was killed by state police after officials went to his apartment and found his wife’s body dismembered and placed in garbage bags, they said.
Burton police officers were called around 7:20 p.m. Saturday, July 15, to the Kings Lane Apartments for a welfare check. When they arrived, they found the body of a woman dismembered and placed in garbage bags. Those garbage bags were in the bathtub, according to authorities.
