Unprecedented savagery in Slovakia. A 48-year-old chef, Josef Hanuska, murdered his girlfriend Patricia who worked as a waitress, and then dismembered her body.

The police even found in the apartment where the couple lived in Bratislava a bucket with the various organs of the girl that the 48-year-old chef had removed from the body.

The gruesome scene was completed by the 48-year-old’s move to place a British passport over the sheet with which he had covered the dismembered corpse on the bed.

Shocked neighbors said the pair often argued, with Hanuska making threats the young woman that he would “cut off her head”.

“I knew that they they were people who had a problem with alcohol and that there were often fights between them” characteristically commented a neighbor.

The 48-year-old was charged with murder. However, he too was hiding a horrible family secret…
