Police: man confesses to killing girlfriend and disposing of body in park

Police say that the young woman whose remains were found earlier this month in plastic bags in a park in the town of Usti and Labem was killed by her boyfriend. The 29-year-old suspect allegedly killed his 21-year-old girlfriend and mother of his three-year-old son in late June after an argument by hitting her on the head with a blunt instrument and then tried to dispose of the body. He was detained on Thursday and confessed to the crime. On Friday he was remanded in custody and faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. Police say the man was on their list of domestic violence offenders.
