It is alleged that when Kay, one of his wives (whom he has recently divorced) died in a botched abortion attempt, he ordered the surgeons to cut her up and reassemble her with her legs on her shoulders and arms on her pelvis as a warning to the others. On the testimony of his housekeeper it is known that he kept the head of Jesse Gitta, the former husband of his wife Sarah in the fridge in his “Botanical Room”. She discovered it after her marriage, along with the head of Ruth Kobusinje, a girl he was sleeping with and suspected of infidelity. One nurse describes decapitating six bodies and sending the shaved, preserved head to Amin. Nobody knows what he wanted them for, which is odd, as he usually left nothing to the imagination.
