A 39-year-old woman is being held in Switzerland after a body was found "severed in two" in France, Swiss authorities said Wednesday.

The French woman, who lives in the Swiss village of Sainte-Croix, was "placed in pre-trial detention following her arrest on November 2 by a border guard patrol," police in the Vaud canton of western Switzerland said in a statement.

"She is suspected of having set fire to her home and of being involved in the disappearance of her landlord," police said.

Multiple sources told the AFP news agency Tuesday that a French woman residing in Vaud had been arrested after the discovery on Saturday of a body that had been cut in two in Fedry, a small village in neighboring eastern France.

The sources said the arrested woman had been identified as the tenant in an apartment belonging to a 75-year-old Swiss man, who had been reported missing on Friday.

"You don't see this every day... I've never witnessed anything like this," the mayor of the village where the remains were found, Jean Roblet, told local news outlet RTL.

I’m a low-end landlord. Several times, I’ve had to deal with drugged-up tenants that I now must evict. When you’re dealing with people who are stressed, high, low IQ and not dealing with reality, it’s scary. I go armed and I take a witness because you have no idea how someone in that condition is going to respond. From their perspective, “this guy is throwing me out. If I just kill him and leave the body in the back bedroom, with the twenty-five bags of rotting garbage, I’ll be fine.” (BTW, the twenty-five bags of rotting garbage...that happened. They had trash service. I asked why they didn’t just put it by the curb and they said, “We forgot.”)

“You don’t see this every day...”

Now that France is going Muslim, you will.

They keep saying exactly “French Woman” like it will ward off evil spirits.

What are the odds that the FRENCH WOMAN’s name is “Fatima Khan”?
