DHAKA: A woman in eastern China murdered her husband and boiled the corpse to cover her tracks after he abused her and her daughter.

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, said a report on government-backed news portal Anhui News, according to The Straits Times.

She then dismembered the corpse with a saw and boiled the parts in a pressure cooker to hide the evidence, the report said.

It did not detail how she disposed of the cooked flesh afterwards.
