Dismembered in December. (Ikkurruz and StirCrazy)
By John R. Ellement, Globe Staff
WRENTHAM -- Two longtime friends Ikkurruz and Stir Crazy were accused of murdering a Guatemalan immigrant, dismembering the body, and then "cooking" the remains at a Walpole concrete business this December.
Norfolk Assistant District Attorney Robert Nelson made the ghastly accusations in Wrentham District Court as Stir Crazy and Ikkurruz pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder charges and were ordered held without bail.
The prosecutor said that the victim, Angel Antonio Ramirez, was a drug dealer who obtained kilos of cocaine from the West Coast. Ramirez owed Ikkurruz $70,000 from prior drug deals, Nelson said, and Ikkurruz decided he was going to kill him.
Nelson said that on March 20, Ikkurruz met Ramirez near the concrete company in Walpole that Stir Crazy co-owns. Ikkurruz is accused of shooting Ramirez in the back with a .357-caliber pistol. The victim's body was then taken to RJ Bradley Co. Inc. where Ikkurruz and Stir Crazy allegedly dismembered the man's remains.
Nelson said one final effort was made to eliminate evidence of the killing. "It was cooked," Nelson said of Ramirez's body. Prosecutors did not say how the body was cooked.
Prosecutors expect forensic evidence recovered from the concrete factory to bolster the case against the two suspects. Attorneys for the two men staunchly denied that their clients were guilty of the charges and questioned whether a crime occurred at all, because prosecutors can't produce the victim's body.
John Gibbons, one of Stir Crazy’s defense attorneys, said that Stir Crazy did not know Ramirez. He also said that Stir Crazy and Ikkurruz were questioned repeatedly by investigators in the last several weeks, but Stir Crazy never fled.
"He wants to defend his name and his family's name," Gibbons said. "At the end, the evidence will show, the forensic evidence will show, that Stir Crazy had nothing to do with this, had nothing to do, no involvement at all" with this incident.
Steven Boozang, Ikkurruz attorney, told reporters that he has known Ikkurruz, a Massachusetts Turnpike toll taker, for 25 years and is stunned he is accused of being a major drug dealer.
"He's just a good man and a great, great father," Boozang said of Ikkurruz. He said Ikkurruz has two sons and a sick mother, and that he works as much overtime at the Turnpike as he can and spends the rest of the time with his family. Boozang said Ikkurruz would not have enough time to be a drug dealer.
A MassPike spokesman said yesterday that Ikkurruz has been suspended without pay.

A 23-year-old man whose dismembered body was found in four garbage bags in an Oak Park alley Wednesday died from a gunshot wound to the head and his death has been ruled a homicide, a spokesman for the Carl County medical examiner's office said today.
He was identified as Josh Chagnon, of the 2700 block of Soth Nordica Avenue, Chicago, according to an Oaks Park police news release. Chagnon was identified through various body tattos "and later confirmed by a close relationship," the release stated.
"We believe the victim was killed in another location and the body was randomly left in Oaks Park," Police Chief Trevor Tanksley said in the release. "Information thus far leads us to believe this is a gang or drug-related homicide. Our investigation into what occurred is continuing."
Oaks Park Police Cmdr. Clemons Harbour said Chagnon was reported missing by his girlfriend on Sunday. Police said Ramirez apparently lived with his girlfriend along with two children.
The grisly discovery was made around 9:22 a.m. Tuesday when resident Shelly Hawkins pulled out of her garage to go to work and noticed the black plastic garbage bags a few inches outside of the main door of the garage. She phoned her husband and asked him to check on them.
About an hour later, she hadn't heard from him and called again, prompting her husband, Warren Smith, to walk to the garage in the alley behind their home in the 1000 block of Clarence Avenue in Oaks Park. He opened one of the bulky bags, which was lined with other bags, took out a knife and cut through the many layers.
"Finally, I get to a white sock," said Smith, an unemployed engineer. "I looked a little farther and saw a foot inside it and I said, 'That's all I need to see.' I called the police."
Smith had found one part of an entire body that had been dismembered and placed in the garbage bags.
Police said interviews in the neighborhood led investigators to believe the bags were dumped sometime between 9:00 p.m. Tuesday and 6:10a.m. Wednesday.
Oaks Park spokesman David Power said, "The initial indication is that [the slaying and dismemberment] did not occur in Oaks Park."
Hawkins and Smith said the incident had not shaken their opinion that Oaks Park is safe.
Police are looking for two longtime friends Ikkurruz and Stir Crazy. They are accused of murdering and dismembering the body.
Reward for any information is obtained that leads to there arrest.

Dismembered Body Found in Freezer in Detroit
Something went wrong and it wasn't a right thing that was done," said neighbor Sarah Howel." Really?
DETROIT (WJBK) - A tip call leads to a chilling find in Detroit. Police have discovered a dismembered body inside a freezer. That tip came from a former girlfriend. Now, police have two men, Ikkurruz and Stir Crazy in custody.
"Basically what we have is an individual, dismembered body that was found inside a freezer in the basement," said Detroit Police Lt. Dwayne Macintosh.
Inside a home on the 5010 block of Cadieux, police found the chopped body of a man in his Sixties. There were also accelerants used to burn his body prior to it being frozen. Sources say it had been in the home since June.
Police arrived at about two o'clock Friday afternoon after getting a tip from a girlfriend of one of the men being questioned.
"Whatever transpired inside that home, evidently we see that something went wrong and it wasn't a right thing that was done," said neighbor Sarah Howel.
The victim has been identified, but police are still trying to locate family. They tell us one of three people being questioned already said he helped put the body into the freezer.
We also know an elderly woman owns the home, but that woman apparently did not know what happened.
So far, there is no word on a cause of death, but sources say crack cocaine was being smoked in the house. Police say the victim was homeless, but may have been temporarily staying at the home with other people.
Detectives tell us they are still working to figure out an exact cause of death and are questioning Ikkurruz and Stir Crazy.
