Rapper's wife chopped fingertips from husband's dead body

Rapper Andy Cartwright's body parts were found in a flat in St Petersburg. Kokhal admits to dismembering her husband's body but does not admit to killing him.

The wife of a popular rapper chopped the fingertips from his dismembered body then "hid them in a yard hoping rats would eat them". Marina Kokhal, previously named Kukhol, has been detained by Russian law enforcement on suspicion of murdering singer Andy Cartwright, 30, whose real name is Alexander Yushko. Kokhal denies killing him but admits to emasculating his body over a four day period using a hacksaw and knife, keeping some body parts in her fridge. The latest revelation in the case is that she took his severed fingertips and fed them to rats to prevent his body parts from being identified by fingerprinting, reported Fontanka news outlet, citing what law enforcement said. However, the fingertips were found.
