Kenyan man gets death for eating wife

Big News Network.com Thursday 27th January, 2005 (UPI)

A Maasai tribesman has been sentenced to death by hanging in Kenya for killing his pregnant wife and eating part of her organs, the BBC reported Thursday.

While death by hanging is extremely rare, judges in Nairobi imposed the sentence on Lolwakenju Lengironi Wednesday and granted him two weeks to file an appeal.

He was found with blood around his mouth beside his wife's mutilated body in 2001 in the couple's shack in a Nairobi slum area.

Prosecutors said the woman's liver was gone, as well as part of her heart.

Lengironi's defense lawyer claimed his client was both drunk and temporarily insane at the time.

Hanging him seems like a step in the right direction of "taking a bite out of crime".

Seems like this is the kind of case a good lawyer could really sink his teeth into.

'Erection drove cannibal to machete murder'

Lagos - A Nigerian man has been arrested after he killed a woman and ate her stewed intestines in a bid to cure an abnormally persistent erection, police said on Wednesday.

A spokesperson for Osun state police said 50-year-old Folorunso Olukotun had led officers to his victim's disembowelled body in the bush near his home village in south-west Nigeria.

"According to the man's story, his private organ always has an erection and it doesn't go down," Oluwole Ayodeji said. "Someone advised him to kill a woman and eat her intestines."

Olukotun ambushed his victim, a woman in her forties unknown to her attacker, on a path near her village. He attacked her with a machete, killed her, and took her intestines home, Ayodeji said.

'He seems to have believed them'
"He cooked them like a sort of stew and ate them with pounded yam," he said. "When the police arrived he was very open, we have his whole confession on tape and he has been remanded in custody."

The spokesperson said that police believe that someone had jokingly suggested cannibalism as a cure for Olukotun's problem, in the belief that he would never carry out such a killing.

"He seems to have believed them," he said. Police could not say whether the erection has now subsided. - Sapa-AFP

Erm... if he had pounded his yam a little more frequently, maybe his erection problem would have subsided a little.

I'm assuming he didn't walk far, what with the particular problem he was trying to cure.
