Egypt has been left in shock by a horrifying crime committed by a 30-year-old woman who killed and cannibalized her own child as an act of revenge against the father.
The unimaginable murder occurred in late April in Sharqiya province, located in the Nile Delta. The woman, who had been separated from her husband for three years, was living alone with her 5-year-old son.
Today, the heart-wrenching crime is being reenacted in an Egyptian court as the mother stands trial for the murder of her child.
The woman drowned her son, named Youssef, then dismembered his body, placing the pieces in a bucket. Shockingly, she even cooked a portion of his head and consumed it.
The crime came to light when the child's uncle visited the mother's house and discovered the gruesome scene of the child's dismembered body in the bucket.

The mother had a history of psychological issues and believed that by consuming her child, she could somehow return to her womb.
Upon her arrest, the 30-year-old confessed to the police that she killed her child in an act of retaliation against the father, who had intended to take custody of the child.
"I wanted to keep him with me forever..." Hanaa said, revealing her twisted mindset to the authorities.
