A former ice cream parlour owner confessed in court on Monday to shooting, sawing up and freezing both her ex-husband and her lover, and burying them under the cellar of her store in Vienna.
Estibaliz Carranza, 34, told the court that her ex-husband had yelled at her and made fun of her poor German and her lover had been unfaithful.
The Austria Press Agency reported that in both cases, she said she had shot her victim with a .22 calibre Beretta pistol,
Then chopped up the body with a chain saw, put it in a freezer at the parlour and eventually buried it downstairs in the cellar.
The bodies were found by chance during maintenance work last year.
Defence lawyer Rudolf Mayer warned the jury not to be influenced by negative portrayals in the Austrian media, which have had a field day with the story of the Mexican-Spanish woman who they call the "Ice Lady", and her many lovers.
Carranza was extradited from Italy, two months pregnant by another man, to face charges in Austria.
The trial is due to run until Thursday.
