Narayan Singh, 38, carrying his wife's head

A farmer decapitated his wife with a sword and carried her severed head to a police station after he caught her with another man in one of his fields.

Narayan Singh, 38, was charged with murder after finding his wife Sarita, 28, rolling around with another man before he flew into a fit of rage, according to neighbours.

Villagers claim the farmer - who claims to have caught his wife cheating before - took a sword and beheaded his wife and picked up her head.

Terrified locals claim they called police but before they arrived he walked five miles to the nearest police station - while clutching his wife's hair.
