JEDDAH, 5 December 2007 — A Pakistani man, who police say decapitated a love rival in Jeddah and then chopped his body into pieces before throwing them in a dumpster, has been arrested.

Muhammad Arshad told police how he killed a Pakistan taxi driver in an alley in the south of Jeddah over a dispute about a Sri Lankan woman. Police said the victim was also a criminal wanted in connection with a number of frauds. The seats of his taxi, which were found in a residential area, were covered in blood. Forensic evidence gathered there led to Arshad’s arrest.

Arshad allegedly told police that he was intent on killing his love rival and dismembering his body. He also told police that he would do the same again.
