The article says that she was dismembered using a hammer and a hand saw. I both do and don't want to know how one would actually accomplish dismemberment with a hammer.

Spouse Phillip Martin was arrested twice previously for abusing his wife. These things have a way of escalating.
A Brooklyn man has admitted to killing his wife before chopping up her body and 'discarding her remains in a dumpster.'
Phillip Martin, 42, was charged Friday with murder and concealment of the corpse of his wife Diana Rodriguez-Martin.
Her remains are still missing.
Rodriguez-Martin's family became concerned something terrible had happened to the 43-year-old when she didn't turn up to a doctor's appointment on February 8.
Martin told police his wife went missing and took their dog around January 16 according to CBS New York.
Sources told the station he dumped her body in a dumpster on Bedford Avenue which runs through the Flatbush neighborhood in Brooklyn. The couple lived at 58 Linden Boulevard.
Sources also told the station Martin used a 'hammer and a handsaw' to chop up his wife's body. He told police he killed her by striking her in the throat.
Police noticed inconsistencies with Martin's account of his wife's disappearance when they questioned him Thursday, which led to his confession.
Authorities also discovered he continued to use her credit cards after she went missing.
