An Indian man who suspected his wife of cheating hacked off her head and carried it to the police station to confess to her murder.
Satish, 35, went to the police station in the town of Ajjampura in southern India with a machete and a bin bag.
On getting there, he pulled the severed and bloody head of his wife Roopa from the bag and waved it by its hair as disgusted officers shouted at him to put it back away.
