Kenyan Cannibal Arrested In Spain For Chopping Off And Eating Her Housemates Fingers

A Kenyan woman has been arrested in Spain after she was caught allegedly cutting off her housemate’s fingers and eating them in what cops believe was a cannibalistic witchcraft ritual.

The suspect told the police that she believed that her housemate had been possessed by an evil spirit, so she hit her over the head with a rock and then tore off and ate her fingers to ward off the spirit.

The 45-year-old Kenyan woman, who was not named, was arrested after authorities walked in on her eating her housemate’s fingers whilst she was lying on the floor bleeding in the southern Spanish city of Seville on Saturday, 18th September.

Police turned up at the suspected cannibal’s house after a neighbour alerted them to screaming and fighting at around 6 pm on Saturday.

The local news site 20minutos reports that the cops found the suspect on top of the victim, who was lying on the floor bleeding.

Two of the victim’s fingers had been removed and eaten by the suspect, who was also allegedly trying to rip her housemate’s stomach open with her bare hands.

A six-year-old girl, who is believed to be the suspect’s daughter, was also in the house and, according to the authorities, witnessed her mum attacking the victim and eating her fingers.

The authorities reported that the 48-year-old victim, who is Congolese, was taken to hospital.

The suspect was first taken for a psychiatric assessment and then taken into custody.
