A MAN accused of murdering a kitchen salesman whose body was cut up and parts scattering in two counties today (Friday) changed his plea to guilty.
Police launched a major inquiry after a left leg was found in a holdall dumped by the side of the Baldock to Cottered road on March 22 last year.
Over the following weeks other parts were found elsewhere in Hertfordshire and a head was discovered in Leicestershire.
They were found to belong to Jeffrey Howe, 49, of Southgate, north London.
