A 41-year-old woman, from Lalitpur, Kathmandu, Nepal, who was decapitated by her husband in their bedroom. The victim was hit over the head with a hammer while she was sleeping and later dragged to the corner of the room and her head severed with a “khurpa”, which is a locally-made, harvesting sickle. All the internal organs were pale due to the massive blood loss, signifying that the injuries were inflicted when the decedent was alive. After the autopsy, the cause of death was ascertained to be homicidal decapitation.
