The landlord in Galicia's Pontevedra province visited the tenant chasing up three months in unpaid rent.

When the tenant didn't open the doorbell, the landlord used his own keys to enter the apartment, local daily La Voz de Galicia reported.

The flat appeared to have been unoccupied for several months. Inside however, the property owner found a freezer tied up with chains.

He then contacted authorities who opened the freezer to discover the dismembered body of a man between the ages of 30 and 50 years old.
