romantic relationship and that he tried to break up with the &#8216;obsessed&#8217; victim, but that he refused.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Police said Sancho came in to report a missing person after the body parts were found and was subsequently detained.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He later confessed to killing and dismembering Arrieta, 44, and then dumping the body parts in the landfill and the sea, although he
