MANIAC CHOPPED UP HIS DAD WITH AN AXE

Body parts found along road wrapped in a carpet

A MANIAC murdered his dad then chopped the body to bits with a hatchet and left them on a roadside, wrapped in scraps of carpet and blankets.

Ravi Pansuriya, 29, is charged with first and second-degree murder in the death of 59-year-old Maganbhai Pansuriya.

The dead doctor’s remains were found on roadsides in Westminste­r, near Baltimore.

The State’s Attorney in Carroll County said there “didn’t appear to be anything that set Ravi off,” and called the crime a “vicious, brutal killing.”

Prosecutor­s told the judge the dad was stabbed 38 times.

Ravi Pansuriya lived with his parents and is the General Manager of the Best Western hotel in Frederick, his public defender confirmed in court.

Documents reveal the father had been reported missing after he didn’t return home from work, and his body located alongside the road in several blankets, and a runner style rug.

A similar rug was reported to be missing from his home.

While deputies responded to a missing person call, dispatcher­s received a call reporting the body had been found.

Deputies said possible human flesh was on the rear bumper of the SUV that Ravi Pansuriya had been driving, along with a doormat covered with what appeared to be blood.

Blood was also found throughout the home, including in the bathroom and garage.

Numerous tools were found, which also appeared to have blood, tissue and hair on them.

An Ozark Trail hatchet was found at the home, and officers tracked that back to the Walmart it was purchased at, and learned that Ravi Pansuriya was the buyer.

Ravi Pansuriya’s clothes were also found bloodied in his bedroom.

He is due in court next month.
