Serbia: Student arrested after parents murdered

A 27-year-old man has been arrested in northern Serbia on suspicion of killing and mutilating his parents, then throwing their body parts into the rubbish, police said.

A headless torso, a leg and two arms were found on Friday after they were dumped in different locations around Novi Sad, 30 miles north of Belgrade, police said.

The suspect allegedly killed them late Wednesday, cut up their bodies, put the parts into plastic bags and rode his bicycle to scatter them around the city, local media reported.

Police did not name the suspect but reports, citing police sources and neighbours, identified him as a student who lived with his parents.
