MARKHAM, Ill. (WLS) -- A man who police said has been charged after bringing dismembered human remains from Kentucky to visit Markham relatives appeared at a court hearing Thursday morning.

Melvin Martin Jr., 30, waived extradition to Kentucky. He will face murder and domestic violence charges there.

Police said Martin took a Greyhound bus from his home in Louisville to Chicago last Friday to travel to his mother's home in south suburban Markham. They said he traveled with multiple bags of his girlfriend's remains.

1. Ahhh.... crap

Why did he HAVE to be from Kentucky? We already have enough problems with being respected.

His poor girlfriend!

2. Imagine when the other passengers read this story.

3. Thought The Same

A gruesome murderer on the same bus, crazy enough to bring the remains with him?
Sheesh!

4. And she didn't have a ticket either.

5. Can We Define That...

...as dark humor?

6. I haven't crossed that line in two months.

But you don't want to know the ones I rejected.
