A 29-year-old woman, Hanaa, reportedly killed her five-year-old son, Youssef, with a machete at their home in Egypt before boiling and eating parts of his head.
The woman has been arrested by the police
after her son’s uncle discovered the boy’s body parts in buckets at the family
house, Daily Mail reports.
After her arrest, she claimed to the police
in Faqus, northern Egypt, that she “suffers from a mental illness” and had not
intended to kill her son.
She and Youssef had been living alone after
she separated from her husband, who insists she knew exactly what she was
doing.
The ex-husband, identified only by his
initials H.A., told local media, “When I arrived, the police prevented me from
seeing my son because of the horrific scene.
“We separated from each other four years ago
because she had land from her father and asked me to leave the house and my
family and go with her to live on the land.
“But I refused, and the relationship ended
entirely by her will, and I tried to reconcile with her after the divorce, but
she refused and stuck to her opinion.”
“My son was the one who kept me connected to
her, and I used to see him regularly and bring him clothes and things he
needed.”
