A British woman accused of killing her mother took the woman’s decapitated head to a friend’s house and kissed it, according to reports.

The headless body of Odessa Carey, 73, was found on April 8 at the woman’s home in Ashington, Northumberland, where several weapons, including a large pair of scissors, knives and a mallet were also discovered in a sink, BBC reports.

Carey’s 36-year-old daughter, also named Odessa, was found later that day in a loft in nearby Guide Post – along with her mother’s head wrapped in a pillowcase and towel inside a plastic bag beneath a sink, prosecutors said Thursday in Newcastle Crown Court.

One day before the gruesome find, Odessa Carey had taken her mother’s bloody head in a bag while visiting a family friend at a garden, prosecuting attorney Nicholas Lumley said.

“She took it from the bag and she kissed it,” Lumley told the court, according to BBC.

Investigators allege Carey killed her mother up to five days before her body was found. The 36-year-old woman has been declared unfit to stand trial, but a court will determine whether she was committed the grisly slaying.

“The defendant is not on trial for the offense of murder and that is because she is too unwell to face trial for a criminal offense,” Judge Paul Sloane told jurors. “Your task is not to return a verdict of guilty or not guilty of murder, your task is to decide whether the defendant did the act charged against her.”

An autopsy found that Odessa Carey had been beaten to death, BBC reports.

A doctor who testified Thursday, meanwhile, said she succumbed to blunt force injuries to her head. The woman also had a cross-shaped slash to her stomach, the Evening Chronicle reports.

The slashing and decapitation occurred after Carey’s death, a doctor told the court.
