'Body Parts' Victim Named By Police
The man whose dismembered body was discovered across two counties has been named as Jeffrey Howe.
The 49-year-old kitchen salesman from Southgate in north London has been described by his family as a "jovial" man who had a "heart of gold".
A man, 37, and a woman, 20, were arrested in connection with the gruesome finds in Leicestershire and Hertfordshire.
Police were granted an extra 36 hours to question the pair who appeared at Hatfield Remand Court.
Mr Howe's brother, who police did not name, issued a statement on behalf of the family which read: "Jeffrey was an extremely caring son. He was a jovial, charming character who had a heart of gold and would get on with anyone.
"He could be a little selfish sometimes but did what he thought was best.
"Although we didn't have a great deal of contact and we hadn't seen each other for a few months, as you can imagine our family has been left extremely traumatised by what has happened."
The victim's head, arm, leg and torso have all been found in different locations by members of the public across Hertfordshire and Leicestershire last month. Mr Howe's hands have yet to be found.
Police believe he was killed by a stab wound to the back.
