The husband of a woman whose remains were found floating in three suitcases was arrested in Florida, Delray Beach police said on Thursday at a news conference.
William Lowe Jr., 78, was charged with first-degree murder, said Delray Beach Police Chief Russ Mager. He was also charged with improper dismemberment of a human body, police said.
Detectives allege after Lowe shot and killed Barbosa Fontes, he used a chainsaw to dismember her body, stuff the parts into different bags, and throw them into the intra-coastal waterway. The couple had been married for about 15 years, and police said they had never been called to their apartment before the death.
Investigators launched a marine expedition on July 22, and were able to locate two more bags with human remains. In all, five bags were found in the intra-coastal waterway within the city limits in Delray Beach, said Det. Mike Liberta, who directed the investigation. Three were suitcases, one was a tote-type purse and another was a small purse, said Liberta.
Search warrants were executed, said Liberta, and during one of the searches, detectives found information that led them to a storage unit.
