A MAN is facing the death penalty after the body of a female student was found burned and dismembered in a park.
Police have detained Charles Dean Bryant, 30, who is believed to have gone on a date with the young woman the night before she was killed.
She has been identified as 24-year-old university fresher Jacqueline Vandagriff.

Her body was discovered in Grapevine, Texas after firefighters were called to a blaze in Acorn Woods Park at 6:30am last Wednesday.
Ms Vandagriff, of nearby Frisco, was last seen leaving a bar with Bryant the previous evening.
Murdered ... Jackie's body was found in a park hours after she was seen leaving a bar
Grapevine Police Sgt. Robert Eberling said detectives used CCTV footage of the pair to identify Bryant and track him down.
He was arrested on Sunday after a state-wide search which included FBI officers and has been charged with capital murder with a $1million bail.
The gym instructor was picked up by police near his house in Haslet in the outskirts of Fort Worth.

The Vandagriff family released a statement thanking the "extraordinary efforts" of investigators and well-wishers.
"We would also like to thank our friends, family and the friends of our daughter Jackie for all their support in this difficult time," the family said.
Ambitious Ms Vandigraff was in her first year at Texas Women's University in Denton, where she was studying nutrition.
A video CV uploaded by Jackie last year shows how eager she was to begin in her chosen career path.
The school’s Vice President for Student Life Monica Mendez-Grant paid tribute to Vandagriff in a statement.
"The death of a student affects the entire TWU community, and I know that all of us send our deepest sympathy to Jacqueline's family and friends", she said.
"Jacqueline exemplified the spirit of learning and service that is the hallmark of our TWU community.
"She lived her life with a desire to serve others through her interest in nutrition."
