Texas police have arrested a man for the murder of a man found beheaded and dismembered with a chainsaw discovered next to a bag holding body parts.<\/p>\n

Police in Houston allege Noe Gerardo Morin, 32, killed Marlon Thomas, 35, with whom he shared a house.<\/p>\n

Mr Thomas’s body was found at a vacant property on Sunday. Next door, police found a chainsaw and rubbish sack containing his head and an arm.<\/p>\n

The men had been friends for 20 years, the Houston Chronicle paper reported.<\/p>\n

“He was a good man,” Jessica Riggs said of the victim, whom she identified as her ex-boyfriend. “A good person. He didn’t deserve what he got.”<\/p>\n

A neighbour told the Houston Chronicle she had heard gunshots on Saturday night.<\/p>\n

The authorities were conducting an autopsy and had yet to confirm the victim’s identity and cause of death, police said on Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
