An alleged cannibal, murder and rapist is said to have told Escourt police that he is “tired of eating human flesh”.

Three suspects are expected to appear in Estcourt Magistrate’s Court on Monday for being in possession of human remains. SAPS Colonel Thembeka Mbhele told News24 that the three were arrested on Friday night after one suspect walked into the police station and revealed his crimes.

“When he was questioned, he produced part of a human leg and a hand. Further investigation led police to a house in the Rensburgdrift area in Estcourt where police were met with a foul smell, and more human remains were found.

“A second suspect was also arrested in Estcourt. A third suspect, also an nyanga, was arrested in Amangwe area. More body parts were found.”

Mbhele says the suspects are alleged to have “raped, killed and cut up the body of a woman, which they then consumed.”

“The allegations by the suspect are that they would rape and kill the victims before they could cut them into pieces and eat their parts,”

Police in the area are even urging those with missing family members to come forward “so that samples can be taken to perform DNA tests”. The three men face rape, murder and charges relating to possession of human tissue.

Ward councillor Mthembani Majola also told New24 that he was left stunned as the suspects showed community members where one of the body was stored.

“It was buried under big rocks and we had to call a TLB machine to remove the rocks. They showed us the body parts in one of the houses. They admitted that they were waiting for the body parts to attract maggots. Apparently, maggots collect money for them.”

A truly sick story, at least these men are now off of the streets and cant harm anyone else.
