A woman is tattooed on her leg during the "Expo Tattoo Uruguay" in ...

He killed her, then cut her into pieces and tossed the pieces into the water. Could anything be more cruel, vicious and mean? The man is 55-years old and the victim, a 27-year old childcare worker. Mrs. Rachel Betts, the woman, went missing in August and her left leg was washed up on the Beach of Philip Island five days later – it was identified by the floral tattoo. The man John Leslie Coombs admitted to having strangled her. He then used as many as five knives to dismember her body – hands, legs, head, and torso. These he put in plastic bags and threw them into the Newhaven pier. Only one leg of the woman has been retrieved so far.

This reminds me of a crime of the same nature. It happened in my country. The murderer was a foreigner. An execute lady found dead, or the different parts of her body found in a remote area. The police caught the murderer. This was known as the case of the chop-chop lady. It was horrible.
