Cameroonian woman cut into pieces and thrown in trash can by boyfriend in Italy

The dismembered body of a 31-year-old Cameroonian woman was found in a rubbish dumpster in Bologna on the outskirts of Bologna on Sunday evening.

Reports say, her 43-year-old boyfriend was found hanged in his apartment shortly afterwards as police are treating the case as a murder-suicide.

The woman, Emma Pezemo, was a nursing student studying in Italy.

The man, Jacques Honoré Ngouenet, was being treated in a clinic for psychiatric problems.

He left a “confused” note that however suggested he had murdered her and then taken his own life, police said.

Police said he probably used an axe or a cleaver to cut her body up.

Friends of the couple told police the pair had not been rowing recently.
