Fall police find dismembered body
The dismembered body parts of a man have been found by police who were investigating reports of another man falling from his flat.

The body of Stanley McKee, 39, was found in a flat in Meteor Way, Wallington, south London, at about 1430 GMT on Friday.

Police made the discovery after being called to the area when Stavros Riakiotakis, 53, fell to his death.

Mr McKee's death is being treated as murder, police said.

Mr Riakiotakis was pronounced dead at the scene and police believe he fell from his flat.

Mr McKee, of Green Lane, Hounslow, west London, had been reported missing by his partner on 26 November.

Post mortem tests carried out at St Helier Hospital, south-west London, gave his cause of death as multiple stab wounds. Mr Riakiotakis's cause of death was given as injuries consistent with a fall.

Inquests are expected to open and adjourn at Croydon Coroner's Court later this week.

An investigation into the circumstances of both deaths continues.
