Security forces in western Libya have arrested a man for killing his divorcee and throwing her body in Qaryat Boaishi in Tripoli.

The crime was unveiled on February 22 when a watchdog brought a human leg to his owner, who immediately reported this to the police.

Police detectives, with the help of the same watchdog, located the dead boy. They found a dead woman whose body was cut into pieces while some parts of her limbs were eaten by stray dogs.

The detectives managed to locate and arrest the killer in Rayayna town, some 142 southwest of Tripoli, after five days. He was identified as Abu Baker Miriheel, the ex-husband of the victim, Zainab Enfis.

In a video posted online, the killer admitted he had beheaded her and chopped off her four limbs, and then threw her in a garbage dump near the Islamic Call Society building, accusing her of “infidelity” during their marriage.
