A woman in Germany put an end to her troubled marriage by chopping up her husband and flushing parts of him down the toilet, authorities said on Tuesday.
”’You won’t find him, I’ve flushed him down the toilet,’ is what she told [her children],” said Andre Hartwich, a spokesperson for police in the western city of Düsseldorf.
The children, who reported their father missing before Christmas, told police the marriage was ”steeped in hatred” and that the woman had previously attempted to poison her husband. It was not clear exactly how the man died.
The Macedonian-born wife threw the biggest chunks of her husband into a bin, which was later emptied at an incineration plant, police said. Investigators have so far only found traces of the 58-year-old taxi driver’s blood in the toilet.
The woman (52) fled to Macedonia after the killing. German authorities are now attempting to have her extradited. — Reuters
