Elderly Woman Killed Spouse And Cook Genital

An elderly woman was arrested and dragged to the court on suspicion of killing and cooking his husband, France.
It was gathered that the bloodcurdling incident happened in the town of Longwy, north-east France, on May 22.

The 71-year-old pensioner brutally beat up her 80-year-old spouse with a kitchen mortar used for grinding spices. Then she cut off his heart, nose, genitals and cooked the organs in a pot. However, it’s still unclear whether she ate them or not.

The woman was labelled as a ‘female Hannibal Lecter’ will have to undergo psychiatric testing to identify the existence of mental problems and determine if she can be held responsible for her actions.

The suspect’s lawyer claimed that her client suffered from delusions, adding: Hannibal Lecter is a fictional character in a series of suspense novels by Thomas Harris and the main character from the American thriller The Silence of the Lambs, with Anthony Hopkins as a brilliant psychiatrist and cannibalistic serial killer.

Her lawyer, Caroline Depretz, said the woman suffered from delusions. “Obviously it was a fit of madness,” she said.

The woman is being held in a prison psychiatric unit and is due to undergo tests to determine if she can be held responsible for her actions.
