Woman Tortured And Murdered Husband, Then Boil Him In Pressure Cooker

A woman in China allegedly murdered her husband and boiled his body in a pressure cooker before reportedly handing herself into police.

The accused allegedly drugged her second husband and tortured him for three days by withholding food and water, according to a report on government-backed news portal Anhui News.

It was reported that the man had allegedly abused the woman and her daughter.

After allegedly beating the man to death, the wife reportedly dismembered his body with a saw and boiled parts in a pressure cooker to cover her tracks.

It is not known how she disposed of the cooked flesh.

--> The woman is believed to have turned herself into police due to the psychological stress of the alleged crime, which caused her to lose more than 6kg in weight.

A police officer in Anhui province's Lu'an City, where the man died, confirmed the case to the AFP news agency but declined to give further details.
