More body parts found in Mississauga

8/17/2012

More body parts have turned up in Mississauga.

2 severed hands--a right & a left--were found by Peel Police.  One was in the Credit River in the same area where a foot turned up Wednesday.  The other hand was a bit further away.

Sgt. Pete Brandwood says they don't know for sure the hands are from the same person, but that it's "common sense" to assume so.

Police are examining something else they found, but Brandwood says it needs to undergo forensic testing before police could say if it was another body part.

A woman's head Thursday in the river where it runs through Hewick Meadows Park in Mississauga, a day after hikers came across a woman's foot.
   
Investigators are still scouring the water, parklands & surrounding rocky hills looking for more body parts & evidence.
