A 71-year-old French woman killed her 80-year-old husband and then cooked his heart, nose and genitals, it has been revealed.
A source said that the woman killed her husband with a kitchen mortar she used for grinding spices then cooked his heart, nose and genital organs in a pot but it is still not known whether she ate them or not, the Daily Telegraph reported.
Caroline Depretz, the woman's lawyer said that she suffered from delusions and the act is definitely a fit of madness.
The woman was being compared to the 'Silence of the Lambs' fictional character 'Hannibal Lecter'.
She was arrested on May 22 in the northern French town of Longwy and was held in a prison psychiatric unit, to undergo tests to determine if she can held responsible for her actions.
