A former US model convicted of killing her husband and eating his remains in the early 1990s is seeking parole.

Omaima Aree Nelson was sentenced to at least 28 years in prison for murdering William Nelson at their apartment over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend in 1991.

Nelson, who worked as a part-time model and nanny in Egypt before immigrating to the US in 1986, killed her 56-year-old husband after just one month of marriage.

She then cooked his head on a stove, skinned his torso and fried his hands in oil, at their Costa Mesa unit in central California, reports the Daily Pilot news website.

Nelson then drove garbage bags filled with body parts to ex-boyfriends, asking them to help dispose of the evidence and offering a $75,000 reward for help.

She was arrested two months later after police found garbage bags containing human body parts in the apartment and in her husband's Corvette.

Nelson, who was aged in her 20s at the time, told police she was under severe stress and claimed her husband often physically and sexually abused her.

Nelson faces a parole board at Chowchilla State Prison next Wednesday, reports CBS News.

Her first parole bid in 2006 was rejected.
