Police returned to an apartment complex Monday to talk to residents as they continue the search for a suspect in the gruesome murder of a Laurel man whose body and body parts were found in two bags.

The Prince George’s County Police Department blog says officers were called to the 8800 block of Enfield Court about 9:20 a.m. Sunday for a report of a body found in a bag. Once on scene, officers discovered a second bag with body parts inside.
