A man has been arrested for murdering his sister and then placing her pickled head in a public toilet (file photo)
A Taiwanese man has been arrested on suspicion of murdering his sister and then placing her pickled head in a public toilet.
Chen Chia-fu, 37, is thought to have killed his sibling for an insurance payout.
Local media have called 'the pickled head case' as the only part of the woman found so far is her head, wrapped in a plastic bag rubbed with several layers of salt.
The 36-year-old women had been missing since December, but her body was found after police in southern Chiayi county received a note detailing the location of her body, reported AFP.
The note - which is thought to match Chen's writing - also requested a 'proper burial' for her.
