Police have seized a mum who allegedly hacked her five-year-old son to death with a machete and cooked and ate part of his head.
The arrest was made after the boy’s horrified uncle found body parts in buckets at the home in Abu Shalabi, Egypt, local media reported.
Officers were shocked when the suspect, Hanaa, confessed that she had eaten part of her son’s head because she “wanted him to stay with her forever”.
Local media told how the 29-year-old killed the terrified boy with four blows to the head before butchering his body in the bathroom.
Then, she allegedly cooked his head and other parts of his flesh in boiling water on the stove before eating them.
After her arrest, she claimed to the police in Faqous, Ash Sharqiyah Governorate, that she “suffers from a mental illness” and had not intended to kill her son.
