Mum accused of hacking son, 5, to death with machete before eating his head

Police have seized a mum who allegedly hacked her five-year-old son to death with a machete and cooked and ate part of his head.

The arrest was made after the boy's horrified uncle found body parts in buckets at the home in Abu Shalabi, Egypt, local media reported.

Officers were shocked when the suspect, Hanaa, confessed that she had eaten part of her son's head because she "wanted him to stay with her forever".
