Grisly discovery as arms found in a dumpster and torso uncovered in another part of town five days later

SANITATION workers were horrified to discover the lower half of a body last week, sparking a grisly five-day search for the dismembered pieces of a murdered Chicago man.

Judson Taylor, 56, now faces felony charges in the homicidal death of Illinois resident Kevin Perry, 37, who was "knowingly dismembered, severed, separated, dissected, or mutilated," according to court documents.

Cook County police said that the lower half of Perry's body was first discovered by city trash collectors last Wednesday, November 5, and the rest of his remains were found in the nearby area days later.

On Saturday, his torso was found in a trash can just blocks away from the first discovery, cops said.

A day later, officials found human arms inside the dumpster near the building where Taylor lives.

Prosecutors claimed in court that the incident took place on October 23 after tensions had risen between the two.

Taylor and Perry had "known each other for years," but were at odds as Taylor was upset about how much Perry was allegedly charging for drugs, prosecutors said in bond court Tuesday.

There was also an alleged physical altercation that had occurred that upset Taylor, CBS News reported.

Taylor invited Perry into his apartment at around 1.30am before launching the horrific attack, prosecutors claim.

Officials believe that Taylor allegedly stabbed Perry multiple times on his body, neck, and stomach.

Prosecutors claimed that Taylor then allegedly kept Perry's body in a deep freezer before dismembering him.

The victim's girlfriend tried to call and text him that morning, but said that she could only get through to his voicemail.

She filed a missing person's report five days later.

After sanitation workers discovered the first part of Perry's body, Taylor actually called 911 on November 5 and complained about having breathing problems.

He told officials that he was shocked to discover remains in the dumpster behind his building, leading investigators to find Perry's arms.

Eventually, officials executed a search warrant at Taylor's home where they discovered tools that he allegedly used to dismember the corpse.

After family identified the victim as Perry, investigators were shocked to find his personal belongings including a wallet and a temporary ID inside Taylor's home.

Taylor has been charged with felony counts of first-degree murder, dismembering a human body, concealment of a homicidal death, and abuse of a corpse, according to court records.

He is currently being held on no bail.
