Ramute Butkiene, who police have named as the woman whose headless torso was found inside a suitcase
A man has been charged with the alleged murder of a woman whose headless torso was found inside a suitcase.
Police found the body – which was missing its head, arms and legs – at a house in Mayor’s Walk, Peterborough, on Friday.
Vytautas Jokubauskas, 57, of Mayor’s Walk, is due to appear at Huntingdon Magistrates’ Court tomorrow charged with murder, Cambridgeshire Police said.
Earlier the force named the victim as mother-of-one Ramute Butkiene, 42, of Mayor’s Walk, who was originally from Lithuania and did agency work in and around Peterborough.
Officers have been searching for further remains and said “some body parts“ have now been found in Peterborough but searches are continuing.
A police spokesman said: “Family members in Peterborough and Lithuania have been informed and are being kept up to date by detectives on the investigation.”
A post-mortem examination failed to establish how Ms Butkiene died.
