According to multiple media outlets, a father and daughter have been charged with the murder of a man found dismembered in Ashburn, a neighborhood in Chicago's Southwest side.

Daisy Gutierrez was charged with first-degree murder, while father Salvador was charged with concealing a homicide.

As if the basic facts of the case weren't gruesome enough, DNAInfo Chicago reports that more body part were found inside the Gutierrez home--and that it was unclear if those parts were that of the victim's, or somebody else.

According to the Tribune, the man, reportedly from Chicago's Humboldt Park neighborhood, was an ex-boyfriend of Daisy Gutierrez:

Police said the victim, a man from the Humboldt Park neighborhood in his late 20s, was lured to the home in the 8300 block of South Scottsdale Avenue by the 19-year-old. Once there, her new boyfriend pummeled the victim over the head with a pipe and slashed his throat with a knife, killing him.

The woman helped dismember the body, place body parts into plastic bags, and bury the bags in a hole that was dug behind the home by her 56-year-old relative, police said.

That new boyfriend? Still at large, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The Sun-Times also reports that an autopsy on the additional remains was scheduled for Sunday.
