Woman kills abusive husband, chops body

An Egyptian woman killed her husband and cut his body into three parts for frequently abusing her. Aided in the murder by her son-in-law, the 45-year-old woman then put the body parts into bags and tossed them into a ditch in the town of Qaliub, north of Cairo, according to reports.

Later, the husband’s body parts were found in the ditch. After her arrest, the suspect admitted to having committed the crime using a knife, claiming that the victim used to ill-treat and hit her.

Police investigations showed that the woman had laced the man’s food with sleeping pills.
