A woman allegedly killed by her own daughter was in remission from cancer when she was 'beheaded'. The body of Odessa Carey snr, 73, was found on a bed at her home wearing a top featuring the character Olaf from the film Frozen - but her head and neck were absent.

Odessa Tammy Carey jnr is alleged to have caused the death her mum who died as a result of severe head injuries in Ashington, Northumberland, on April 8 last year, Chronicle Live reports.

Mrs Carey's tummy had been cut open and in the bath of the home there was a plastic container with blood and brain tissue in it, a court heard.

Carey carried her mum's head around in a bag before hiding it in a cupboard under a sink at a friend's house, jurors at Newcastle Crown Court heard.
