A psychologist who murdered and decapitated her abusive husband before
scattering his remains across Mexico City sent text messages from his
phone so friends and family would think he was still alive.
Long-suffering Maria Alejandra Lafuente Caso, 40, who claimed she had
been repeatedly beaten by her hubby Allan Carrera Cuellar, 41, drugged
him by slipping sleeping pills into his drink at their home in the
Mexican capital.
She then took his chainsaw and chopped his body up, stuffing his
remains inside black bin liners and depositing them around the city.
Police launched an investigation after children discovered his head whilst playing in a local park.
His hands and feet were later found in another part of the city.
But so that friends and family would not ask where he was, she told
them he had gone on a business trip and sent them text messages from his
phone.
A police spokesman said: "Before the body parts were found she
convinced everyone that he was alive and well by sending text messages.
"After we found the remains and managed to identify him from DNA, she pretended to be a grieving widow.
"But a forensic examination of her home found traces of his blood and
bone gristle in the carpets and bits of flesh in the bathroom.
"She then tried to have herself sectioned using her knowledge of mental
illness as a psychologist so she wouldn't have to stand trial for his
murder.
"But we had a doctor carry out tests and she is of perfectly sane mind."
The woman now faces life in prison.
