According to a report by Daily Mail, a 29-year-old woman named Hanaa allegedly killed her five-year-old son, Youssef, with a machete in their home in Egypt. Shockingly, she then boiled and ate parts of his head.
The boy’s uncle discovered his body parts in buckets at the family house, leading to the woman’s arrest by the police.

The woman admitted to the police that she ate parts of her son’s head because she “wanted him to stay with her together.”
She also confessed to cooking his head and other parts of his flesh on the stove in boiling water before consuming them.
However, following her arrest, the woman claimed that she suffered from a mental illness and had no intention of killing her son.
She and her son had been living alone after her divorce from her husband. The ex-husband was reportedly prevented from seeing his son due to the horrific condition of his body when he arrived at the police station.
