JOHANNESBURG, June 18 (Reuters) - A South African man choked to death minutes after killing his wife and eating part of her face following a domestic argument, police said on Saturday.
Police stormed into a house in rural KwaZulu-Natal near the border with Mozambique early on Friday after neighbours reported a disturbance, Captain Tienkie van Vuuren told Reuters. They found a 30-year-old woman who had been stabbed to death.
"Her husband was sitting naked on top of her," she said. "He had stabbed her and was eating the flesh from her face. The guy came at them with a knife. They sprayed him with pepper spray but it didn't have any effect."
After a struggle, officers handcuffed the man -- who was aged around 33 and had no history of mental illness -- but soon afterwards he choked, collapsed and died, she said.
The couple's two daughters witnessed both their mother's stabbing and their father's death and were receiving counselling, as were the police officers, she said.
"It looks like a domestic dispute between husband and wife," she said. "We do get a lot of domestic violence cases but not to the extent that it goes as far as cannibalism."

I think I've had a "face off" or two with the wife, but usually it's not so literal.

Just goes to show, bringing a birthday cake to a chimpanzee isn't the only way you could have your face ripped off.

Counseling Schmounseling....sure glad they sent in those jokers to mop up. You can talk about stuff til you're blue in the face, but it doesn't do a G&*^%#dam thing to improve the situation!!!!!!
I'm thinking of opening a psychic reading service...I'll get paid for not doing anything!!!!
In the meantime, my heart does go out to the children and the cops that witnessed this. Makes ya realize how small your problems are in comparison. Glad I was born here and not in Africa!
