A murder inquiry has begun in Britain after a father opened the door of his son's fridge and found the dismembered body of his daughter-in-law.

The father had gone to the couple's  house in Kingston upon Thames, south west London, and found no one was home, according to reports.

After making a cup of tea he opened the fridge door to get some milk and found the chopped-up remains of the Korean-born woman wrapped in plastic bags on the shelves.

Her husband, Paul Dalton (34), is now being hunted by detectives and his father - who reportedly called police after finding the body - was said to be receiving counselling, according to the paper.

A Scotland Yard spokeswoman said police were awaiting a formal identification of the woman's body and communication with next-of-kin.

She added officers had been alerted by a "member of the public" at 10.07 p.m. on Tuesday and added no one had been arrested in connection with the murder and inquiries were continuing.

A post mortem is due to take place at Kingston Mortuary today.
