A woman who gave a neighbour a box containing her decapitated husband’s head claimed it contained sex toys.
Carmen Merino, 64, has been handed a 15-year jail sentence and was convicted of her partner’s homicide three weeks ago after a fortnight-long jury trial at a court in the northern Spanish city of Santander.
Her partner Jesus Maria Baranda was reported missing before the neighbour found his head in the box she was handed a few months earlier.
