A murderous couple killed, decapitated and dismembered a drug user before one of them 'chillingly' boasted of eating him, a court heard today.

Simon Shotton was discovered after a 'large package' landed in front of a member of the public, who reported it to the police when she recognised the shape of a foot inside.

The 48 year old's limbs were sawn off with his legs dumped in a plastic bag where in a 'grisly' find they were discovered by by a passer by - sparking a murder hunt which saw the couple arrested, the court head.
