Brazilian police have said more body parts belonging to a murdered British teenager have been found.
The remains of Cara Marie Burke, 17, were found in a suitcase in Goiania last week.
Reports suggest detectives have now found her head, forearms and left leg near a river close to the city.
Police chief Raimundo Batista confirmed the remains had been discovered near where Cara's boyfriend, Mohammed D'Ali dos Santos, 20, said he had disposed of them.
According to the local police, Mr Santos has admitted killing his girlfriend on July 26th after she had threatened to tell his family about his cocaine habit.
It is alleged he murdered the 17-year-old, from south London, out of desperation after she refused to marry him so he could obtain a visa to live in Britain.
