as posted by the channel

A 78-year-old Florida man was arrested after he allegedly shot his wife, dismembered her with a chainsaw and stuffed her remains into five bags that he tossed into the ocean.

William Lowe Jr. has been charged with first-degree murder and abuse of a human body in connection to the brutal death of 80-year-old Aydil Barbosa Fontes, his wife of 15 years, Delray Beach Police announced Thursday.

Officers had been hunting down the suspected killer since they found the first of five large bags containing body parts of a woman last month in the city’s Intracoastal Waterway.

A bystander called police July 21 after spotting the first suitcase with a “human foot protruding through the zipper,” according to the arrest affidavit.

The suitcase, which contained Barbosa Fontes’ legs and several landscaping rocks, was also marked with an airline sticker that read “Barbosa,” but police were unable to immediately identify who she was.

Two other suitcases containing the woman’s torso and pelvis, as well as rocks and barnacles were found within the next few hours — and only 0.1 miles away from the home Lowe and Barbosa Fontes shared, the police documents state.

The next day, investigators found Barbosa Fontes’ head stuffed inside a tote bag secured with a man’s belt and her ditched purse with a “decomposition odor.”
