‘Very brutal’: US police find dismembered bodies of four missing persons Iran puts British politicians and media on terror list

Police found the dismembered bodies of four men who had been missing for about a week in a river near a small town in the US state of Oklahoma.

They all had gunshot wounds, Okmulgee Community Police Chief Joe Prentice said Monday night (local time). The previous investigations suggested that the four men, aged 29 to 32, were planning a crime. When they disappeared, they were on their bicycles. The exact background and official cause of death are still unclear.

“I have investigated more than 80 murder cases in my career. I’ve worked on multiple victim homicides. I had to deal with mutilations. But this case is the one with the most victims, and it’s very brutal,” Prentice added at a media conference.

The body parts in the Deep Fork River were discovered by a passerby. A witness also told police that he was invited by the men to participate in a coup that was lucrative for all. Neither the murder weapon nor the men’s bicycles have been found so far.

During the search, the investigators found traces of an act of violence on a site near a scrap yard. However, the police did not give details. The owner of the junkyard is an interested party in the case, but has not yet been identified as a suspect.

The man initially cooperated with the detectives, but has since disappeared and is considered suicidal. Only his abandoned car was found in a neighboring town behind a shop. Okmulgee has a population of about 11,000 and is located about 60 miles south of Tulsa. (aeg/sda/dpa)
