A woman allegedly decapitated her lover and put his severed head and penis in a bucket during a drug-fulled sex game.

Taylor Denise Schabusiness, 25, from Wisconsin, US, is set to plea not guilty by reason of insanity to killing Shad Thyrion, 25, in February 2022.

She is charged with first-degree intentional homicide, mutilating a corpse and third-degree sexual assault.

She is due to go on trial March 23 after she was accused of decapitating Thyrion during a sex game.

Thyrion's mum later found his head in a bucket at her home in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

However, Schabusiness lawyers argue she isn't mentally capable of standing trial in March as she fails to understand her charges.

She allegedly told police they were “going to have fun trying to find all of the organs” after her arrest on February 23 last year.

Her van was searched and a cooking pot with human remains was found.

Officers also found a "male organ" in the bucket along with multiple body parts spread around the house.

Schabusiness and Thyrion had been using methamphetamine before travelling to his mum's for their drug-fuelled bondage sex game.

Prosecutor's alleged Thyrion was sexually abused and dismembered as numerous parts of her body were located in his mum's home and her van.

Green Bay Police Officer Alex Wanish said he "observed the plastic bucket on the floor...[with] a shower/beach towel over the bucket".

A severed human head was found inside the bucket.

She allegedly told cops she carried on having sex with Thyrion's dead body “because she enjoyed it.”

Police said: “Schabusiness made the comment that at one point, she did get paranoid and lazy and that she thought it was the ‘dope’ that was making her paranoid."

Schabusiness has undergone two competency evaluations and led to Judge Thomas Walsh ruling in May that she is competent to stand trial.

However, her lawyer Quinn Jolly disagreed and believes her client is not fit to stand.

She said: "She’s been psychiatrically hospitalised multiple times, she’s been diagnosed with bipolar and psychotic. This may have been one of her better days, however, I’m very surprised at the result of this report.”

But despite this Matthew Seipel, a psychological expert appointed by the court, believes Schabusiness is fit to stand trial.

He said: “I reached the opinion to a reasonable degree of professional certainty that the defendant is competent to proceed in this case.”

Schabusiness remains behind bars with a $2million (£1.6million) bond.
