BALTIMORE (AP) — A 21-year-old college student accused of killing a housemate told police he ate the victim’s heart and part of his brain after he died.
Alexander Kinyua hid the head and hands of the dead man in his family’s basement laundry room in a suburb of Baltimore, according to the Harford County Sheriff’s Office. Kinyua, a student at Morgan State University, was charged earlier in May in another attack in which the victim was brutally beaten but survived.
Kinyua, a Kenya native, is charged with first-degree murder and other charges in the death of 37-year-old Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie. He was ordered held on no bail.
His public defender did not return a call seeking comment, and a voicemail left at Kinyua’s home was not returned.
Sheriff’s spokeswoman Monica Worrell said the chief medical examiner had not yet officially identified the body parts, but that authorities believe they are those of Kodie, who was reported missing May 25. His cellphone and wallet were left in the home and police were initially told he had gone for a run.
On Tuesday, Kinyua’s father, Antony Kinyua, called detectives and reported that another son, Jarrod, found what he thought were human remains in the house where they all lived in Joppatowne.
Jarrod found two metal tins, which held a human head and two human hands. Police say Jarrod confronted his brother, who said the remains were animals.
According to charging documents, Jarrod and his father went to the basement, where Jarrod “observed that the items he observed were gone and Alex Kinyua was cleaning the container he observed them in.”
Detectives obtained a search warrant and found the head and hands in the house. Police say Alexander Kinyua admitted to killing Kodie by cutting him up with a knife and eating his heart and part of his brain.
Authorities say Kinyua told detectives the rest of the body could be found in a trash container at the Town Baptist Church in Harford County where they discovered remains.
The attack comes in the same week as a man in Miami chewed away another man‘s face along a busy highway and wouldn’t stop until an officer shot him to death. Witnesses say 31-year-old Rudy Eugene growled at the officer and continued to chew away. The victim, identified as 65-year-old Ronald Poppo, a homeless man who lived under the causeway, was in critical condition and will be permanently disfigured.
On May 19, Kinyua beat a man with a baseball bat on Morgan’s campus, fracturing his skull and making him lose sight in one eye, according to Baltimore police spokesman Anthony Guglielmi.
Kinyua was arrested May 20 and released on $220,000 bail.
Morgan officials say Kinyua studied electrical engineering and was also in the ROTC.
According to court records, the victim, Kodie, a native of Ghana, was convicted in November 2008 in Baltimore County of sex offense and assault in September 2007 and harassment, stalking and telephone misuse for making repeated calls in 2007 and 2008 to a woman. He was sentenced to at least a year and a half in jail.

Posted on June 1, 2012 at 10:22amThe U.S. has agreements with some countries whereby we allow people convicted in one country to serve their sentence in their home country. I think this mostly works one way in practice. One person convicted of drug smuggling was allowed to serve part of his sentence in American jails for obvious reasons.

Typical Liberal stupidity and political correctness.
It is something that doesn’t happen all the time and is the THIRD cannibal news this month.
Did you Liberals whine and cry when the Blaze and other news outlets reported the white Canadian gay guy who killed and ate someone? nope, but you only cry and whine when it is a black man doing the crime and people report it.
Liberals are racists.

Posted on June 1, 2012 at 8:42amThe current concern in mental health receiving all the attention (and money) is prescription drug abuse. So in our pursuit to experience better living thru chemicals, the mainstream created a whole helluva lot of pain killers and psychotropics that (Surprise!) can and will be abused to f’ people up and sometimes kill them. It will be interesting to see how this insane period of mental health woes (often perpetuated and exacerbated by the pharmaceutical industry) will be viewed in a decade or two.
Report Post »Senator Joe Manchin had an article printed yesterday about how he and lots of gub’ment money are going to save the great American junkie… or at least those in WV. Folks with chronic mental illness are hardly an afterthought as far as politicians, substance abuse treatment proponents and the private prison industry are concerned. Gee. Follow the money.
Funny how some drugs and pushers are “bad”, but others are far deadlier… and legal. How is that war on drugs going? Hell, you people don’t even know your enemy.
Oh, and there is no indication the fellow in this story is mentally ill. Criminal, yes, but to conclude he is mentally ill based on the information presented is like asserting you can assume he’s a Democrat.

Posted on June 1, 2012 at 9:07amYou were kind of all over the place but I think I can agree with you on most of what you said (I think). But, I don’t think that it is an unrealistic assumption that this man is mentally ill. Most people that eat other people are mentally ill.
Report Post »The Gooch
Posted on June 1, 2012 at 7:30pmOkay. To keep it simple, insanity and mental illness are not the same thing. History indicates most people who have eaten human beings have done so for religious/cultural reasons and in life or death survival situations. This is like assuming all suicides and murders involve mental illness. Assume as you will.
