A BRAZILIAN school teacher in the state of Santa Catarina confessed to killing her lover and roasting parts of his body to destroy the evidence, Globonews agency reported today.
Romilda Manske, 48, said on January 11 her lover, Joel da Silva, 24, threatened her with a knife while he was intoxicated and then raped her. Afterwards, the woman said she hit him on the head with a stool, killing him unintentionally.
In trying to hide evidence, Manske chopped up the body into pieces and smashed the bones with a hatchet. She placed the man's head and the feet in her kitchen oven, Globonews said.
It took Manske a week to carry out the task before an anonymous caller tipped off police. When officers came to investigate, she confessed to the killing, the news agency reported.
A counsel for the defence said that despite the gruesome nature of the attempted cover-up, Manske will probably face trial for involuntary manslaughter and hiding a corpse. She could be free within a few months.
The school teacher appeared to show no remorse on the murder of her lover. "I did to him what he wanted to do to me," Manske was quoted as saying.
