A RESIDENT of Mbumbulu, south of Durban, has confessed to police that he has eaten five people, including a neighbour, City Press reports. Patrick Mbuso Msani (26), a former prisoner at Westville in Durban, apparently told police that he would have eaten two more victims had they not escaped. When a team of reporters from the newspaper visited Msanis deserted house, they found a man’s buttocks cooked with beans. Police retrieved a pot of cooked human flesh from the house, and found an uncooked human head and intestines in a bucket. Msani has appeared before the Umbumbulu Magistrates’ Court on charges of cannibalism and was remanded in custody until May 16.
