16-Year-Old Kills Kid, Cuts Him Into Pieces, Eats Human Flesh, Drinks Blood

In a shocking incident, a 16-year-old from Punjab's Ludhiana killed a nine-year-old, chopped him into six pieces, ate his flesh and drank his blood.

More shockingly, after doing all this, the boy, son of a migrant labourer, behaved utterly normally and had even prepared food for his father. The boy, who is now in police custody, said he killed the nine-year-old as he wanted to taste human flesh.

The nine-year-old boy, identified as Deepu, was reported missing a couple of days ago and his head was found in a vacant plot. The boy's heart, which the 16-year-old had extracted, has been thrown outside a school. The police, who examined the CCTV footage saw the the boy with the 16-year-old. On questioning, the youth admitted to having killed and eaten the flesh of the boy. The boy also revealed that he craves for human flesh and even eats raw chicken.

He admitted to having lured Deepu into his trap by offering manja (kite string). Later, he strangulated him to death and cut him into pieces with a sharp gardening tool. He stuffed the body parts into polythene bags.

The youth has been sent for medical and psychological tests. The police said this was a clear case of cannibalism and the boy was mentally unsound.
