Suspect In Grisly Dumpster Murder Caught On Camera And ARRESTED

This is the same dumpster where police later discovered a decapitated body. The video shows the man struggling to lift the object before a loud thud is heard as it lands in the dumpster.

The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) spokesperson stated that he was not aware of the video, but this does not necessarily imply that investigators have not reviewed it. The source of the video confirmed that it had been handed over to the police prior to an arrest being made. A witness in the parking lot also photographed the SUV's license plate and provided it to the police.

Haskell, the son of a Hollywood executive and a former beauty queen, was arrested on suspicion of murder after a homeless man discovered the gruesome find in the dumpster around 6 a.m. on Wednesday.

The surveillance footage, recorded around 4 p.m. Tuesday, shows the incident taking place in broad daylight. "You can clearly see what he’s doing in broad daylight, and he struggles to get the black bags into the dumpster," the tipster told Fox News Digital.
