Man accused of killing victim whose body parts were found in suitcases in Denver Nelson Oliveira
A murder suspect accused of killing and dismembering a Colorado man last month apparently forgot to remove a crucial piece of evidence from one of the suitcases he used to stuff the victim’s body parts, prosecutors said Tuesday.
Investigators examining a purple suitcase that contained a human foot and a leg also found a baggage claim sticker with information from a recent flight including the suspect’s name.
Benjamin Satterthwaite, 28, was arrested in Denver this week and charged with first-degree murder and tampering with a deceased human body. It was the culmination of a gruesome and mysterious case that involved at least one other death connected to the suspect.
