German police arrested a man today who allegedly killed his sister-in-law, decapitated her and then took a walk in town with her severed head under his arm, horrifying passers-by.
The 24-year-old man, who also carried a knife, offered no resistance when police, tipped off by witnesses and stunned shoppers, picked him up mid-morning in the small town of Uebach-Palenberg in the west of the country.
The head is believed to be that of his 25-year-old sister-in-law, who the man allegedly decapitated shortly before leaving on his macabre walk.
Police found the body at his apartment shortly after the arrest, but could offer no motive for the killing.
