A Kentucky woman is under arrest after authorities found her mother dead and dismembered in the victim's home earlier this week.

The mother was found dead in her Robertson County, Ky., home on Wednesday, Oct. 9, by the Kentucky State Police, the department said in a statement. State police did not name the victim, but she was identified as Trudy Fields by several news outlets, including WKYT, the Courier Journal and LEX 18.

Police arrested Torilena May Fields, 32, from the home, where she'd allegedly been holed up for nearly 12 hours after authorities initially tried to make contact with her, per the KSP statement.

Early in afternoon on Wednesday, police were notified about a dismembered body by a man hired by Trudy who had gone to the residence to work on the property, KSP officials said, according to the Courier Journal, WKYT and LEX 18.

When no one answered the door, the man went to the backyard, where he found Trudy’s dismembered body, KSP officials said, the Courier Journal, LEX 18 and WKYT reported, citing troopers’ statements and an arrest citation.

The man told dispatchers that he also found a pile of hair he believes belonged to the victim, per WCPO and Local 12.

The witness alleged that he was at the residence the previous day when Torilena was "casting spells on them and being confrontational," according to the arrest citation, the Courier Journal, LEX 18 and FOX 19 reported.

In its statement, the KSP stated that the suspect did not respond to troopers' initial attempts to contact her but they were able to get a search warrant for the property.

When Torilena finally emerged from the house, she was covered in blood, KSP officials said, per the Courier Journal, LEX 18 and FOX 19.

Police say they found a bloodied mattress next to the body of Trudy, per WLWT, the Courier Journal and LEX 18.

The mattress was folded, and police found “multiple body parts and organs” inside of it, the KSP alleged in the arrest citation, per FOX 19 and the Courier Journal.

Once inside the residence, police found body parts they believe had been cooked in the oven, inside a pot that was still warm, according to the arrest citation and unspecified court records cited by WKYT, the Courier Journal and FOX 19.
