Mr Bishop, 32, was last seen in July and was reported missing on August 4.

Police Scotland made two public appeals to trace him, on August 6 and August 11, after he was last spotted on Friday, July 27, on Well Street, Paisley, walking towards the town's Clavering Street East.

Cops have launched a murder probe and sealed off Schaw Street while masked forensic investigators have been pictured outside the flat.

A post- mortem examination will be carried out on the body later today, local media reports.

The insider said: "Some of the officers involved in the enquiry are pretty shaken up.

"You certainly don't see a dismembered body every day.

"Only the torso was found in a bin - there were no legs, arms or head attached.

"Not only did that mean the officers on site were unable to identify who it was straight away, it started a frantic search for the rest of the body.

"Officers will now have to trawl landfill sites to try and find his head, arms and legs.

"As the torso was found in a bin, it's thought that's where whoever cut up his body put the rest of him."

A Police Scotland spokesman said: "Officers are currently carrying out enquiries at a house in Schaw Road, Paisley, in connection with an ongoing missing person enquiry.
