A woman who allegedly bit and ate two of her roommate’s fingers and tried to disembowel her in front of her six-year-old daughter has been arrested on charges of attempted murder.
Spanish police say the 45-year-old Kenyan allegedly attacked her 48-year-old Congolese victim in an apartment in the southern city of Seville because she believed she was “possessed”.
Officers found the alleged assailant on top of the other woman after rushing to the apartment following calls from concerned neighbors.
The alleged assailant’s own six-year-old daughter was reportedly in the apartment in a Seville neighborhood called Poligono Norte when she became insane.

The alarm was raised at around 6:15 a.m. on September 18, although details of the incident have only just been made public.
Local reports said police believe the brawl started as a verbal argument because one of the women threw a bottle of water with salt on the other.
Respected local daily Diario de Sevilla said things had turned physical amid accusations of witchcraft, with the alleged assailant believing the other woman was “possessed” and engaged in a violent assault.
She is said to have smashed the older woman around the head with a large stone before throwing her to the ground and tearing off two fingers.
Police sources said the unnamed Kenyan was attempting to disembowel his alleged victim when they entered the apartment, using the stone she had previously attacked him with by forcing it into her anus.
The injured woman was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery.
The detainee was admitted to the psychiatric wing of another hospital but is expected to be sent to prison after his release.
Her schoolgirl daughter was taken in by the city council.
It was not immediately clear today whether the operation to save the injured woman’s fingers was successful and to what extent she was recovering from her ordeal.
It’s also unclear when the suspect will appear before a judge in a closed-door hearing.
There has not yet been an official comment from the Seville Police
