A WOMAN in Germany put an end to her troubled marriage by chopping up her husband and flushing parts of him down the toilet, authorities said .
"'You won't find him, I've flushed him down the toilet', is what she told (her children)," Dusseldorf police spokesman Andre Hartwich said.
The children, who reported their father missing before Christmas, told police the marriage was "steeped in hatred" and that the woman had previously attempted to poison her husband.
It was not clear exactly how the man died.
