Well, the new year is off to a bad start:
Murder victim's head found in concrete block
Police have told a press conference in Linz that a woman whose dismembered body was found hidden in two suitcases in a lake in Upper Austria was likely strangled. Her head, which was missing, was later found encased in concrete.
A second body, that of a man, was found in Traunsee on Monday afternoon, about 5 km from the shore. He had bags containing stones and a concrete block tied to his hands. The concrete block concealed the woman's missing head.
Upper Austrian police chief Gottfried Mitterlehner told the press conference that detectives believe the man murdered the woman and then drowned himself.

Interestingly enough, it turned out that both were Germans from the state of Hessen.
Pretty bizarre that a German would kill his wife, dismember her and encase her head in concrete, then drive 500 miles to some lake in Austria to dump her and kill himself.
Because its not bizarre for non-Germans?
