A Kentucky woman was arrested Thursday after authorities discovered a dismembered body and what appeared to be cooked human remains inside a Robertson County home, Kentucky State Police (KSP) reported.
Police arrested 32-year-old Torilena May Fields after receiving a call from a man who had arrived on the property Wednesday to perform work for the homeowner, according to Fox19 Cincinnati. The man claimed he had seen Fields with the victim a day prior and that the suspect was acting strangely.
“On Oct. 8, the witness stated Torilena was casting spells on them and was being confrontational,” KSP said in a citation, according to the outlet.

When the witness returned the next day, no one responded after he knocked on the door. He then noticed drag marks lead to the back of the home, where he discovered a dismembered body with the arms, legs and head severed off, police said. (RELATED: Two Ladies Show Up To Work.

Troopers discovered an even more horrifying scene once they entered the home. Inside, they found what appeared to be cooked human remains in a still-warm pot inside the oven. Additional body parts and organs were found hidden in a folded mattress beside the butchered body, authorities added.
Fields, who was reportedly covered in blood when police arrived, initially refused to leave the home but was eventually taken into custody. She faces multiple charges, including abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence and obstructing governmental operations, the press release states.
The victim’s identity has not yet been released. Fields remains in custody at the Bourbon County Detention Center and is scheduled to appear in court Monday.
