| 2004-09-13 |
| LUSAKA (Reuters) - Zambian police have arrested a man who exhumed, cooked and ate part of his grandson's corpse, police said Monday. Police spokeswoman Brenda Muntemba said a hunter found the man eating pieces of flesh in a graveyard in Milambo, 600 km (370 miles) north of the capital Lusaka. "The man exhumed a corpse and cut off some flesh which he cooked in a pot and started eating ... we went to the grave of his grandson and verified that he had exhumed the body," Muntemba told Reuters. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti. Muntemba said police had no idea why the man, who had no history of madness, had started eating his grandson, who died in July. The man was charged with interfering with a dead body and also for trespass in the graveyard. Grandson tastes good like a grandson should. |

| #1 ...The grandfather, however, later denied having eaten any body parts, on purely aesthetic grounds: "I do not like green legs and hands!" Mike |
