This is truly sadistic.
Authorities in Australia have charged a reality TV star with murder after they discovered her partner’s beheaded body.
Tamika Chesser, who starred in an Australian reality TV series, has been charged with murder after police found her partner’s dismembered body parts at an apartment in South Australia.
CBS News had more details on the beheading:
Australian police have appealed for help to find the head of a man allegedly murdered by his partner, a former star in reality TV series “Beauty and the Geek Australia.”
Police said they charged Tamika Chesser with murder after 39-year-old Julian Story’s dismembered remains were found at an apartment in South Australia last week.
“It was a confronting scene for police and emergency services personnel as Julian’s body had been dismembered,” South Australia Police said in a statement Friday. “Julian’s head had been removed during the dismemberment and, despite extensive searches, has not yet been located.”
Police said his remains were discovered at a Port Lincoln home after they responded to reports of a fire, and they believe he was killed around midnight June 17.
Police documents submitted to the court, and obtained by public broadcaster ABC, said when officers arrived, they found “the “deceased remains which were severely burnt and disfigured.”
“The accused was seated in a garden chair in the rear yard adjacent to unit 3 in a catatonic and unresponsive state at this time,” the documents said, according to the ABC.

9 News reported on the footage that linked Chesser to the crime:
Police claim the footage of a woman on a morning walk with her dog’s leash in one hand and what looks like a jerrycan in the other is Chesser.
About three hours later police say they uncovered her alleged sinister crimes.
ADVERTISEMENTWatching from Queensland, her distraught family were shocked to learn of the allegations against Chesser.
The former Beauty and the Geek contestant allegedly set fire to partner Julian Story’s remains inside their Port Lincoln, South Australia, unit two days after she allegedly killed him and dismembered his body.
Her sister said in the months before she had concerns for Chesser’s mental health.
“It’s my sister but that’s not who she is or the Tamika we know. That’s not the Tamika anyone knows,” she said.
