China: Wife 'Boils Husband In Pressure Cooker'

news.sky.com A woman in China who allegedly murdered her husband and boiled his corpse in a pressure cooker has reportedly handed herself into police. The man was allegedly drugged and tortured by his wife for three days in June, according to a report on government-backed news portal Anhui News. The woman, who he had reportedly abused, then dismembered her husband's body with a saw and boiled the parts in a pressure cooker to cover her tracks, the report claimed. It did not detail how she supposedly disposed of his cooked flesh. The woman reportedly turned herself into police due to the psychological stress of the alleged crime, which saw her 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.
