Cannibal kills OAP before eating his tongue and heart

FRANCE: A cannibal has horrifically murdered a pensioner before dissecting him then eating his tongue and heart, officials have revealed.

A homeless 26-year-old man is allegedly behind the brutal incident, which happened on Thursday night in the tiny village of Nouilhan in south-west France.

The 90-year-old farmer reportedly had his head hit with an iron rod after the attacker was told to do it by voices in his head.

He allegedly broke into the old man’s home before smashing his skull to kill him and ripping out the body parts he wanted to eat.

The man – said to be from the region of Tarbes – then set alight to the property, the flames from which alerted the victim’s son who lives nearby.

Tragically the son found his father’s body when turning up to the house with police.

The attacker is now in custody and is expected to face trial next year.
