A Kenyan woman living in Dublin, Ireland has been arrested for the brutal murder of a Malawian man.
50-year-old Grace Miano savagely butchered 27-year-old Limbani Mzoma.
The mutilated body was discovered in an apartment at South Co, Dublin on Thursday November 1st at about 23.30 local time.
According to the Autopsy report revealed that some of the victim’s body parts including his penis, testicles and eyelids were hacked off during the violent attack.
The circumstances surrounding Mzoma’s gruesome murder remain a mystery. Police investigating the incident however believe the Malawian citizen could have been butchered over a stolen iPhone.
However, while she lived in the high-end rented house, the court heard, Miano survived off social welfare. The nature of the relationship between the suspect and the victim is not known.
Miano was charged with murder when she was presented at Dublin District Court on Sunday morning November 4th. She made no comment during her presence in court.

Her lawyer Jonathan Dunphy told Judge Grainne Malone that his client, who has been living in Ireland for a number of years, wanted a psychiatric assessment carried out.
He said Miano was also requesting medical attention, as she had complained of pains in her head and leg while in custody.
However, Judge Grainne Mailone, who heard the case on Sunday, declined to grant Miano’s request, saying she lacked authority.
She was remanded and is set to appear before Dún Laoghaire District Court on Friday.
