The dismembered body parts were found split between bags in the Buttes-Chaumont park in northeast Paris this morning.
The police are on the scene and waiting for forensic scientists to arrive to examine the gruesome remains.
The first body piece was found by gardeners in the park on Monday, who discovered the victim's pelvis in a plastic bag, according to a source close to the case.
The decapitated head was then found this morning with the help of park staff.
The Parisian newspaper reported that the lower torso was also found with the severed head today, hidden under foliage in a remote location within the park.

The Buttes-Chaumont park has been closed to the public since 3pm yesterday after the first grim discovery was made.
Investigators have been searching for more body parts ever since.
