By JOHN SCOTT
A MALE stripper who murdered a pal chopped up the body and crammed it into a liquidiser in a bid to destroy the evidence.
Steve Parton, 39, killed housemate Nelvaughn Brade in a rage after they fell out. He hacked off the 22-year-old’s head and cut his torso into bits.
Parton — who performed on stage in a military uniform like that worn by Richard Gere in An Officer and a Gentleman — then tried to liquidise the parts in a kitchen blender at their home in Birmingham.
He packed Brade’s remains in two oil drums and drove them more than 100 miles to a landfill site near King’s Lynn, Norfolk.
But Parton later walked into a police station in nearby Hunstanton and gave himself up.
When cops found the oil drums Brade’s body could be identified only from a print taken from a finger that remained intact.
Parton, a former welder who was once jailed for stabbing a girlfriend, appeared at Birmingham Crown Court on Friday and admitted murdering Brade.
He was remanded in custody and will be sentenced later.
