She is said to have eaten the dish after ending his life in a violent act of revenge, reportedly triggered by catching him watching pornography.
The man, believed to be 37 years old, has not yet been formally named by authorities. Local sources have not released any identifying information about the woman accused in the case either.
According to reports from Brazilian media, investigators believe the woman was driven by “jealousy and rage,”.
His genitals were missing when he was found, and his family had earlier reported him as missing.
During questioning, the woman reportedly admitted to the shocking crime, offering no attempt to deny what she had done.
As of now, it’s unclear whether she was the only one who consumed the stew or if other people unknowingly ate from it as well.
Beside the mutilated corpse, police found a handwritten message stained with blood. The note claimed a woman nicknamed “gringa”—a name linked to suspect Josefa Lima de Sousa—was behind the brutal killing.
Officers also recovered a knife at the scene, still stained with what appeared to be dried blood.
Josefa told investigators that she had cooked and eaten both his heart and his penis after the murder.
This isn’t the only such case either. Last year, another woman made headlines when she cut off her husband’s penis in a rage after he allegedly whispered another woman’s name during sex.
After he fell asleep, his wife, aged 55, is said to have gone to the kitchen, grabbed a 10-inch-long knife, and then returned to cut off his penis while he slept.
Photos released by the police showed the severed part of his genitals lying on the bed, surrounded by spots of blood.
A spokesperson from the Baguio City Police Station commented: “Allegedly, the reason was jealousy, because the wife claimed her husband was a womaniser.”
The officers were able to retrieve both the blood-covered knife and the severed body part from the scene.
Meanwhile, his wife remains in police custody and is being held at the Baguio City Police Station under suspicion of mutilation.
