O.C. Man Convicted of Bludgeoning, Dismembering Wife

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA -- An Orange County man was convicted Monday of bludgeoning his wife of 39 years to death and then burning her dismembered body in a Ventura County campground. A jury found Richard Gustav Forsberg, 63, guilty of one felony count of second degree murder. He faces a maximum sentence of 15 years to life in state prison when he is sentenced in February. According to prosecutors, Forsberg repeatedly bludgeoned his wife in the head with a small statue. Forsberg told investigators he dismembered her body using a hacksaw, then bagged the body parts in trash bags and stored them in freezers. Forsberg kept his wife's body at their home for several days before renting an RV and taking it to Lake Piru in Ventura County, according to Thompson. Over the next two weeks, Foresberg burned all of his wife's remains in campground fire pits, Thompson testified.
