A 41-year-old psychology professor has been charged with the stabbing death of her 47-year-old husband after his mutilated body was found in the apartment they shared in Argentina. Florencia Amado Cattaneo stands accused of killing her husband Pedro Zarate, cutting off his penis, and plunging the murder weapon into his eyeball.
Cattaneo was arrested at her mother’s house after Cattaneo’s sister found the victim when he failed to respond to her phone calls for several days, according to Rio Negro news outlet.
The sister became concerned when the alleged perpetrator appeared covered in blood at their mother’s home on Sunday. The body was discovered on Tuesday.
