To go on holiday in Thailand, German man kills wife, dismembers her body

Berlin: A 53-year-old German man was arrested for murdering and dismembering his wife of ten years -- because he wanted to go on a holiday to Thailand.

According to a report in the Khaleej Times, the accused identified as Horst Koenig confessed to killing his wife Grace using a blunt object before suffocating her. He then cut her body into eight pieces, stuffed them in plastic bags and hid at a warehouse.

The victim's dismembered body was found by authorities who then nabbed Koenig and produced him in a court.

While the case was under trial at the court, prosecutors said that the accused had sent emails to the victim's family informing that she had left him and that he would win her back.

The court was also told that Koenig wanted to go to Thailand to meet a lady he had met online.

Koenig's trial would end by next week and would be sentenced for his crime.
