He thereafter wrapped it with the dead woman’s cloth and put it in a polyethylene bag.

According to the source, “family members noticed that the woman had not returned from the farm and it was getting dark. Her children and other family members went looking for her; they found her headless body tucked away in a corner of the family farm.

“They all raced back home wailing and crying for help, only to discover the severed head of the woman with her step-son, who was acting strange and making moves to flee from home.”

The quick intervention of the police saved the suspect from being stoned to death by angry mob.
