The woman drugged the man, her second husband, and tortured him for three days in June by withholding food and water and beating him, causing his death.

She then dismembered the corpse with a saw and boiled the parts in a pressure cooker to hide the evidence. It did not detail how she disposed of the cooked flesh afterwards.

The psychological burden of the crime proved too much for her to bear, causing her to turn herself in to police, according to the report.
