DETROIT -- A trial is set to get under way for a suburban Detroit man accused of fatally shooting his ex-girlfriend and her fiance, chopping off their heads and limbs and dumping their remains into the Detroit River.

Roger Bowling is charged in the deaths of 32-year-old Danielle Greenway and 42-year-old Chris Hall. Police say they were killed at their home in Allen Park.

Bowling's trial is set to start on Monday.

Authorities found the bodies of Greenaway and Hall floating in the Detroit River and an adjoining canal on July 17.

The same day, an angler spotted legs, a saw and a suitcase submerged in about 10 feet of water along a seawall.

Messages seeking comment were left with Bowling's lawyer.
