A man accused of fatally chopping his uncle at their home in Stony Hill, St. Andrew, before chartering a taxi to transport the dead man's body parts to Cavaliers, where he set the remains ablaze, is to stand trial this week.
The incident took place three years ago.
The trial was initially to begin on Monday, but was put off until Friday when the matter was called up.
The accused, 43-year-old Samuel 'Peter-John' Waldo, who is in police custody, is charged in connection with the gruesome murder of his 77-year-old uncle, Derrick 'Reds' Lindsay on June 4, 2022.
Investigators say Waldo went into hiding the day his uncle was reported missing.
Detectives cracked the case a few days later.
On June 6, 2022, the police were led down a precipice in bushes in Cavaliers where smoke was still emanating from some of Lindsay's remains about 11 a.m.
Following the grisly find, the police raided Waldo's home, where blood stains were found inside.
Waldo was arrested some weeks later after he was accosted in Kencot in the St. Andrew Central Police Division.
According to the police, after the murder, Waldo reportedly chartered a taxi and travelled with two suitcases filled with the body parts.
