Has nobody in Northville Township, MI seen Nightmare on Elm Street?

(BTW, the last paragraph here has to be one of the great sentences in news)

Police said the fire was seen Wednesday night near Hidden Ridge Drive about 20 miles northwest of Detroit in Northville Township, the Detroit Free Press reported Thursday.

The body of Daniel Gene-Vincent Sorensen, 26, of River Rouge, was found about 9:30 a.m. Thursday at the end of the cul-de-sac by a township sewer and water department crew, according to the Free Press and The Detroit News.

He was identified by the Michigan State Police through a fingerprint taken from his burned hand. The print also revealed Sorensen had been a registered sex offender in Illinois.

Sorensen's head has not been found and a cause of death has not been released.

Michigan, not Illinois.

A thrill-kill, says the prosecutor.

"Prosecutors say the teens killed Sorensen, cut off his head with a hacksaw, burned his hands and feet with a blowtorch, torched his body and dumped his head into the Rouge River."

A 17-year old and an 18-year-old.

The usual platitudes are brought forth, both by the families (essentially---"They were such good boys") and those in authority "Horror movies and violent video games also can be contributing factors, said Peck, a former deputy coroner for Los Angeles County."

Here's a link, if you can stand to read more.
