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.
