A 34-YEAR-OLD man murdered and dismembered a college student, 19, on the first date after allegedly watching a Netflix series showing mutilation.

Maxwell Anderson was convicted of homicide and dismembering a corpse on Friday for the heinous murder of Sade Robinson last year.

The two had met at a bar and spent the rest of their evening getting dinner and drinks at the Twisted Fisherman in Milwaukee.

Teen Sade then went back to Anderson’s apartment where, at one point in the night, the alleged killer put on Netflix show Love, Death & Robots.

One episode of the series called “The Drowned Giant” portrays the horrific mutilation of a human body on the beach.

In a chilling similarity, prosecutors have claimed that monster Anderson dismembered Sade’s body on a beach in Wisconsin overlooking Lake Michigan.

Juror Melissa Blascoe mentioned to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel: “I was like […] that’s disgusting because that could have been where he got some of his ideas or fantasies.

“I physically felt like I was gonna throw up at that point. I know a lot of people were shaking and crying.”

Anderson was also charged with arson and hiding a corpse in connection with Sade’s death.

He was found guilty on all counts.

Cops said it’s believed Anderson spread the 19-year-old’s remains across Milwaukee County and burned her car in an attempt to hide key evidence.

Surveillance footage showed Sade’s car leaving Anderson’s apartment in the early hours of April 2.

It then arrived at the beach along the shores of Lake Michigan.

When Sade didn’t turn up for work the next day, concern was sparked on her whereabouts.

The student’s manager Justin Romano told CNN that she was “very outgoing, she would talk to everybody here.”

He added: “She was always there to lighten the mood.”

After Sade hadn’t showed up for her shift – which “wasn’t like her at all” – Justin added: “We kind of knew something was up.

“We had been calling her all day.”

Anderson is thought to have dismembered Sade and set her car alight behind an abandoned building.

He then took a bus back to is apartment.

Despite “extreme fire damage” to Sade’s car, police were able to identify the outfit the 19-year-old had been wearing on the night of the date, along with part of an iPhone consistent with hers, CNN reports.

Cops had been called to Warnimont Park after a human leg was horrifically discovered, which was later identified as belonging to Sade.

Anderson had planned to kill the student weeks before her death, a “confidential informant” claimed, Fox News reports.

Anderson’s attorney Tony Cotton argued that the prosecution showed no evidence of his intention to kill Sade.

The attorney also pointed out how Anderson didn’t attempt to conceal his identity while traveling on public transportation home and was also in clean clothes despite allegedly dismembering Sade’s body in a muddy location.

Jurors reached their verdict in one hour on the ninth day of trial.

Milwaukee County Assistant District Attorney Ian Vance-Curzan said: “While we are satisfied with this verdict, our hearts go out to the family of Sade Robinson.”

And Milwaukee County Sheriff’s Det. JoAnn Donner – who had spent months working on the heartbreaking case – said: “My heart goes out to the family and [Sade’s] friends and really, the community at large.

“It’s everyone’s come together, and it’s really hard to take that step back as a law enforcement officer and not get that really emotionally involved during the case.

“I will admit that I did go back to my office after the verdict, and I had a good cry because I finally got to have that emotion. It does affect us too.”

And Sade’s grieving mom Sheena Scarbrough said in a GoFundMe set up for her daughter’s memorial service that she was a “loving daughter, a cherished sister, and a dear friend to many”.

Anderson is to be sentenced on August 15, where he faces a mandatory life sentence in prison.
