Reports show that, a Kentucky man is accused of the grisly act of dismembering his ex-girlfriend and transporting her body parts in suitcases to Illinois. Melvin Martin Jr., 30, was arrested outside of Chicago at a relative's home where authorities retrieved the suitcases. Martin's relatives said that he never unpacked and a foul odor emanated from the suitcase. Police were called when one of Martin's family members opened the suitcase and found body parts.
While the investigation is ongoing, it's believed Martin and his ex-girlfriend got into a domestic dispute which eventually led to him murdering the woman.
The name of the 31-year-old victim has not been released.
