'Fixation with horror'
The court heard Majerkiewicz had worked as a manager at fast-food shops in the Trafford Centre but was unemployed at the time of the murder and had debts of about £60,000.
Majerkiewicz had an obsession with gore and gruesome horror and a tattoo of slasher-film character Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th, Greater Manchester Police said.
Det Supt Lewis Hughes said he had a "fixation with horror and gore" but the team had "not confirmed any clear motive", adding: "These are all relevant factors in what may have been going on, financial issues, debt, problems paying the bills, potentially a relationship between the two of them."
Rebecca Macaulay-Addison, of the Crown Prosecution Service, said: "Marcin Majerkiewicz murdered Stuart Everett before making a despicable and disturbing attempt to cover his tracks by disposing of Mr Everett's remains.
"He went on to concoct a web of lies to further conceal his barbaric crime."
Jurors convicted him of murder in under two hours of deliberations following a three-week trial at Manchester Crown Court.
Trial judge Mr Justice Cavanagh told Majerkiewicz he faced a mandatory life sentence but he must set the minimum time before parole, which would happen on 28 March.
