'Jigsaw man' murder guilt
A MAN on trial for murdering a colleague whose dismembered limbs were found scattered across two counties yesterday changed his plea to guilty.
The jury at St Albans Crown Court were told that Stephen Marshall, 38, had now admitted murdering Jeffrey Howe.
The severed remains of Mr Howe, 49, from Southgate, north London, were discovered across Hertfordshire and Leicestershire last year. He became known as the "jigsaw man" after the series of macabre finds.
After Marshall, of Borehamwood, Herts, changed his plea to guilty, the jury formally returned a guilty verdict. His girlfriend Sarah Bush, 21, still denies murdering and dismembering Mr Howe.
