Cannibals In The News: Five Bizarre Acts Of Human Flesh Eating In One Week
By Huffington Post, 3 June 2012.
By Huffington Post, 3 June 2012.
When a single act of cannibalism is reported, it is as unfathomable as it is unsettling. To have five such incidents dominate the news cycle - as was the case this week - seems almost unprecedented.
All but one of the following cases are alleged crimes. They range from an international manhunt for a suspect accused of chopping up and eating his male partner to a chef who severed and served his own testicles.
HuffPost Crime offers below a round-up of the murder suspects and alleged flesh-eaters who captivated our readers this week with tales of horror.
1. Rudy Eugene
This undated booking mug made available by the Miami-Dade Police Dept., shows Rudy Eugene, 31, who was shot and killed by Miami-Dade Police after he refused to stop eating another man's face in Miami, Saturday, May 26, 2012. The victim remains hospitalized in critical condition.
2. Luka Rocco Magnotta
This undated photo provided by the City of Montreal Police Service media relations shows Luka Rocco Magnotta, 29, who is wanted for homicide. Montreal police said on Wednesday, May 30, 2012, they have identified Magnotta as a suspect in the gruesome case of severed body parts discovered in packages mailed to Ottawa, Ontario, and in a garbage heap in Montreal.
3. Alexander Kinyua
Alexander Kinyua (above), a 21-year-old Morgan State University student, allegedly admitted to killing his roommate, Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie, and then eating his heart and portions of his brain. Kinyua has been charged with first-degree murder.
4. Mao Sugiyama
It's necessarily a crime to eat human flesh. Mao Sugiyama (above), a self-described "asexual" from Tokyo, got surgery to remove his genitals, then cooked and served them to five lucky dinner guests at a swanky banquet in Japan.
5. Man Accused Of Eating Wife's Lips
A former employee of a Swedish medical university is accused of cutting his wife's lips off and eating them. The unnamed man allegedly flew into a rage after he became suspicious that his much younger wife was having an affair. A source said the man ate the lips because "he didn't want the lips to be able to be sewn back on."
