Bulletin put out by Kaohsiung police after the body was found.
Taipei, Nov. 28 (CNA) A Vietnamese woman has been arrested in Taiwan for allegedly killing her boyfriend and dismembering his body after a quarrel, according to the police.
Nguyen Thi Soi, 33, was picked up at her workplace in Kaohsiung City as she was preparing to return to Vietnam Friday, police said.
She faces charges of killing Kieu Van Manh, 43, before chopping up his body and disposing of the remains in a ditch.
The two had come to work in Taiwan separately earlier in the year, police said, adding that Kieu was slain apparently for wanting to break up their relationship.
The case came to light on November 18, when a dog was seen carrying a human skull in its mouth. The rest of Kieu's remains was later found in a bag used for pig feed.
Based on the lead, investigators located a pig farm in the city's Luzhu District where Nguyen is employed as a caregiver. Police found that the victim had met Nguyen at the farm on October 15, shortly before he disappeared.
