Man arrested after body parts found in suitcase

Source: AP-Excite

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — San Francisco police arrested a man on suspicion of murder Saturday in connection with a suitcase found on a downtown street stuffed with dismembered human remains.

Mark Andrus, 59, had been spotted on surveillance footage near where the suitcase was discovered and was booked into county jail hours after he was detained as a "person of interest," Officer Grace Gatpandan said.

Gatpandan said she could not comment on exactly how police linked Andrus to the body, but said they were aided by the surveillance footage and witness statements. She did not have any additional information about Andrus, the body parts found in the suitcase or a possible motive.

Police received a call on Friday night on the department's anonymous tip line that a "person of interest" in the suitcase incident had been spotted in the city's Tenderloin neighborhood, Gatpandan said. They responded and detained two people, including Andrus.

He'll get to leave and take the suitcase with him.

Reading of a suitcase full of body parts reminded me of the great (I think) 1975 Italian movie, Seven Beauties by Lina Wertmuller.

Stevie Wonder - Big Brother (Talking Book 1972)

Your name is Big Brother
You say that you're watching me on the tele
Seeing me go nowhere
Your name is Big Brother
You say that you're tired of me protesting
Children dying everyday
My name is Nobody
But I can't wait to see your face inside my door

Your name is Big Brother
You say that you got me all in your notebook
You're writing it down everyday
Your name is I'll See Ya
I'll change if you vote me in as the pres
The president of your soul
I live in the ghetto
You just come to visit me 'round election time

T-t-t-t-t-t
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t
I live in the ghetto
Someday I will move on my feet to the other side

My name is Secluded, we live in a house the size of a matchbox
Roaches live with us wall to wall
You've killed all our leaders
I don't even have to do nothin' to you
You'll cause your own country to fall
