Park workers found the lower torso of a woman in a plastic bag hidden under leaves on Monday afternoon.Further remains, including the head, were found during a thorough search of the park by police on Tuesday morning.
The hilly Buttes-Chaumont park, a popular spot for families and joggers, was closed until Tuesday afternoon while the search went on.
