The horror house was only uncovered after neighbours complained of a 'peculiar' smell coming from the property in Tuddern, in Germany.

And police have not ruled out the possibility that there are more victims as they collect human remains from the sewerage system of the small town.

Revenge was the motive for the murders, said police.

Although a mother and her two adult sons have been arrested her husband and adult daughter have fled to South America, German police believe.

House of horror: The family used the house in Germany as a 'chop shop' to dispose of their victims, who they killed with an icepick and a semi-automatic gun

The family, who are Dutch but lived in Germany, was arrested after neighbours complained of a 'peculiar' smell emanating from the house.

'The case concerns a man who was shot and another who was hit with an icepick whose throat was slashed,' said public prosecutor Daniele Weymar in the German town of Tuddern not far from the Dutch border.

'We have found human remains.'

One victim was killed in Belgium. The first victim was Alan Gergeri, 24, an Iraqi who the family accused of homosexually raping one of their sons. He was murdered in 2009.

The second man, Mohammed al Jader, 29, was cut down in a hail of bullets last year, allegedly for trying to blackmail the family.

The Dutch family from the town of Sittard in Limburg owned the horror-house in Germany and used it as the 'chop shop,' said police, where bodies were cut up and laid in the hydrochloric acid vats.

One police officer said; 'The house was a terrible sight. Bone fragments and a green gloop were found at the bottom of these vast vats that were filled with acid.

'Fingers and feet bones have been found a mile away in the sewers.' Gas masks were found in the house - used by the family as they poured the acid from barrels into the decomposing tanks.'

Hydrochloric acid (BLEACH) is highly corrosive and in a highly diluted form is found in many household cleaners. Some 20 million tonnes of it are produced annually around the world.

A unique cross-border forensics operation is underway between Dutch, German and Belgian police that continues while Interpol scours for the missing family members who are thought to be in Venezuela.

Aachen chief prosecutor Robert Deller said jurisdiction in the case for prosecution has been turned over entirely to The Netherlands.

Ballyfermot, Dublin: Dismembered Murder Victim Was Dipped In Acid: *UPDATED

*Acetic acid and a red franking ink ribbon may hold the key to identifying partial human remains discovered in a Dublin recycling plant at the end of July.

The remnants of a spool of the ink ribbon were found among other material adjacent to the remains discovered on July 31 at Thornton’s recycling plant, Killeen Road, Ballyfermot.
The ink ribbon is that used in a SM 26 franking machine. The postmortem examination has determined that the human remains are contaminated with acetic acid.
This chemical, gardaí say, is widely used domestically in vinegar and food preservatives, and industrially in textile printing, dyes, photographic chemicals, pesticides, rubber and plastics. Acetic acid is a toxic chemical with a pungent smell.
For this reason, gardaí have appealed to members of the public who noticed “an unusually strong vinegary smell” adjacent to their place of residence or work environment, during the month of July, to contact them at Ballyfermot Garda station.
Gardaí have established that the remains are those of a European male (nationality and ethnicity unknown), aged 25 to 45, between5’ 8” and 6’ in height, and who had surgery to reduce brain swelling following severe traumatic brain injury.
Gardaí are also appealing for anyone who disposed of, or who has knowledge of anyone disposing of franking ink ribbon in the last week of July to get in contact.
The remains were discovered at the Thornton’s plant during waste separating.
Anyone who can assist with Garda enquiries should contact Ballyfermot Garda Station at 01-6667200 or the Garda Confidential Line 1800 666 111 or any Garda Station.

*MAASTRICHT, Netherlands, March 21 (UPI) -- Prosecutors in the Netherlands said a family cut up the bodies of two men they killed and dissolved their remains in acid before flushing them down the toilet.

The house where the bodies were dismembered was in Germany but the case is being tried in the Netherlands because the accused family is from Holland, The Local reported.

(Authorities arrested the mother and two adult sons of the family but the father and an adult daughter fled and are believed to be in South America).

Prosecutors told a Dutch court the first victim, Alan Gergeri of Iraq, was stabbed to death with an ice pick in 2009.

Authorities searched the family's house across the border in Tuddern, Germany, while investigating the disappearance in 2011 of another Iraqi, Mohammed al Jader.

"When his body was discovered, it had been almost totally dissolved in acid; there was hardly anything left of him," a prosecution spokeswoman said.

"We also found remains of the other man."

The trial of the family is not expected to begin until May 2013.

The remains were found in Thorntons recycling plant in Ballyfermot on July 31.
