THE son of a former Hollywood agent has been charged with murdering his wife and her missing parents – just days after workers found a dismembered torso in a dumpster.

Samuel Haskell had been jailed on suspicion of murder and held on $2 million bail while police continued to investigate.

The accused’s victims were last seen on November 6 before being reported as missing.

The following day, November 7, Haskell reportedly hired four laborers to move multiple heavy black trash bags.

“When we picked up the bags, we could tell they weren’t rocks,” one worker told local NBC affiliate KNBC in Spanish.

The group had been given $500 to dispose of the bags 24 miles outside of downtown Los Angeles.

When they realized the bags were clearly not rocks, as they had been told by Haskell, the workers peaked inside.

“I started seeing body parts, a belly button,” one worker described

“I was astonished. Of course, I felt bad. We had been tricked.”

When confronting their employer, he attempted to convince them that the body parts were Halloween props.

They refused the job and tried to report their experience to two different police stations – the California Highway Patrol station on De Soto and the LAPD Topanga Station.

Each time they were turned away and told to call 911.

A torso was later discovered by someone digging through a dumpster in Encino.

Haskell was allegedly spotted and photographed dumping a large trash bag into a dumpster on the 16000 block of Ventura Boulevard in Encino.

He was arrested and detained one day after the torso was found, on November 11.

Haskell’s arraignment is set for December 8, 2023.

If found guilty, the penalty is a maximum life sentence in prison without the possibility of parole.
