A Kentucky woman has been arrested after law enforcement found her 68-year-old mother's dismembered body parts being cooked in a pot.
On Wednesday, Kentucky State Police responded to a report of a dismembered body found by a man working on the property of a Robertson County home, according to a police statement.
'Two units arrived on scene, discovered the deceased body in the backyard. We obtained a search warrant and called in our special response team,' said Kentucky State Police Trooper David Jones, reports WKYT.
After a 12-hour standoff, police arrested 32-year-old Torilena May Fields, who had barricaded herself in her Mount Olivet home.
Although police have not confirmed the identity of the body, several news outlets reported the victim to be her mother, Trudy Fields.
One of the workers discovered drag marks in the grass, leading to Trudy's dismembered body in the backyard. The victim's arms, legs, and head were detached from her body, per police.
He also discovered a pile of hair believed to be hers.
The man informed troopers that he had been at the property the day before and had seen both the victim and Fields.
'On [Oct. 8], [the witness] said Torilena was casting spells on them and being confrontational,' troopers noted in the citation.
Police obtained a search warrant and entered the home after they were unable to contact Torilena.
When she finally came out of hiding, she was covered in blood.
A thorough search of the property revealed a bloodied mattress containing 'multiple body parts and organs.'
The investigators also discovered a pot in the oven that contained what appeared to be cooked human body parts. The pot was still warm to the touch.
Torilena is being charged with obstruction, tampering with evidence and abuse of a corpse. She is currently being held in Bourbon County Detention Center.
Further charges may be filed throughout the investigation.
Torilena does not have a prior criminal record.
Her arraignment is scheduled for Monday afternoon.
