A Maryland college student faces a number of charges after allegedly confessing he killed his roommate, then ate the victim's heart and part of his brain.
Twenty-one-year-old Alexander Kinyua was charged with first-degree murder and other offences Thursday, in the death of 37-year-old Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie.
Kodie had reportedly been living with the Kinyuas for the past six months. He was reported missing on May 25, after he was said to have left the home to go for a run.
Kinyua's father Antony called police on Tuesday, to report that another son, Jarrod, had found a human head and two hands stuffed in tins hidden under a blanket in the Joppatowne, Maryland house's basement laundry room.
When Antony and Jarrod returned to the basement they discovered "the items he observed were gone and Alex Kinyua was cleaning the container he observed them in," according to charging documents.
Police later returned with a search warrant and discovered the body parts hidden elsewhere in the house.
Police say the accused subsequently admitted cutting Kodie up with a knife and eating his heart and part of his brain. He also led them to the Harford County church trash container where the rest of Kodie's remains were stashed.
The incident comes in a week of grisly news that included video posted to a Canadian website that allegedly captured the murder and dismemberment of a man whose body parts were mailed to federal political party headquarters in Ottawa.
Also this week, a man in Miami was shot dead by police after he was discovered chewing on another man's face at the side of a busy highway. The victim of that attack, 65-year-old Ronald Poppo, was in critical condition and will be permanently disfigured as a result.
Originally from Kenya, Kinyua was an electrical engineering student at Morgan State University. He had no prior criminal record, but was arrested on May 20 for allegedly attacking a man on the school's campus with a baseball bat.
During his court appearance Thursday, Kinyua was ordered held without bail.
