Mother Who 'Hacked Her Five-Year-Old Son To Death With A Machete Then Boiled And Ate Part Of His Head' Is Not Mentally Ill, Prosecutors Rule
A woman who allegedly hacked her five-year-old son to death with a machete and cooked and ate part of his head has no mental disorders, the Egyptian Public Prosecution has ruled. The suspect, 29-year-old Hanaa Mohamed Hassan, has been presented to the criminal court, where she will stand trial for the premeditated murder of her son, Youssef. New reports have detailed how the suspect allegedly killed her victim by hitting him on the head three times with the murder weapon. Earlier reports told how the alleged crime was discovered when Youssef's horrified uncle found body parts in buckets at the family home in Abu Shalabi, Ash Sharqiyah Governorate last month. According to the investigation, Hassan killed Youssef to stop her ex-husband and his family from communicating with him or pursuing her legally for visitation rights. The investigation found that Hassan was of sound mind and that she had not consumed any drugs or medications that would affect her mental state. F
