A man in England allegedly killed his father, then dismembered his body and used it to create a makeshift television stand. 

According to the BBC, 28-year-old Nathan Robinson placed the pieces of his father's body inside of stacked storage boxes at the Bournemouth, England apartment they shared in June 2013. A neighbor told the BBC that Robinson and his father, William Spiller, argued over money prior to Spiller's murder. The neighbor was reportedly alerted to the crime after a mysterious pink liquid began seeping through his ceiling from the apartment above. 

Police say Robinson used a hacksaw, box cutter, and saw to cut his 6'5," 350-pound father into pieces, noting that they found his head inside of a filing cabinet. The BBC adds that following the murder, Robinson took $12,000 from his father, which he used to take trips.

He's currently on trial for murder.
