A WOMAN has been arrested for "biting off and eating" two of her flatmate’s fingers in front of her six-year-old daughter.

       Spanish police say the mother, 45, allegedly attacked her flatmate, 48, at their home in Seville because she believed she was “possessed”.

       Police in Seville arrested the mother for attempted murder

       Following calls from concerned neighbours, officers rushed to the flat to find the mum on top of her flatmate.

       The alleged attacker’s own six-year-old daughter is said to have been in the flat when she went berserk.

       The alarm was raised around 6.15am on September 18, although details of the incident have only just emerged.

       Cops held the mum on suspicion of attempted murder.

       Local reports said police think the fight began as a argument because one of the women threw a bottle of water with salt in it at the other.

       Things got physical amid accusations of witchcraft, with the alleged attacker believing the other woman was “possessed” and launching into a violent assault, reports Diario de Sevilla.

       She is said to have smashed the older woman round the head with a large stone before throwing her on the floor and biting off two of her fingers.

       Police sources said the unnamed mum, from Kenya, was trying to disembowel her alleged victim when they entered the apartment, using the stone she had previously attacked her with by forcing it up her anus.

       The injured woman, from Congo, was rushed to hospital for an emergency op.

       The detainee was admitted to the psychiatric wing of another hospital but is expected to be sent to prison after being released.

       Her daughter has been taken into local council care.

       It was not immediately clear this evening whether the operation to save the injured woman's fingers was successful and how well she was recovering from her ordeal.

       It is not known either when the suspect will appear in front of a judge in a closed court hearing.

       There has not yet been any official comment from police in Seville.
