A restaurant in Eastleigh area, Nairobi has been closed down
after its activities of selling human flesh came
to the knowledge of local leaders. Police were informed about the restaurant’s
activities by local leaders and residents, where they rushed to the scene and
were shocked to see two human heads; still fresh, oozing blood.
The blood was being drained into a polythene bag, perhaps
going to be served as a different delicacy.
The police arrested six women and four men in connection with the crime.
At the time of arrest, they managed to recover an AK-47 rife while other weapons including sets of grenades, and several
mobile phones.
“Every time I went to the market, I observed strange
activities going on in the hotel. People who were never cleanly dressed and who
looked a bit strange made their way in and out of the hotel, making me very
suspicious of their activities. I am not surprised at the shocking revelation,”
said one of the residents.
A local priest was taken aback by the revelations and
couldn’t come into terms with having consumed human flesh.
He reported to the police how he unknowingly ate human meat.
“I had gone to the restaurant early in the morning for
breakfast. I finished my meal and was served
with the bill, only to be shocked by the kshs.1000 charged.
The attendant noticed my reaction and told me it was the
small piece of meat I had eaten that made the bill scale that high. I did not
know I had been served with human meat, and that it was that expensive,”he
said.
Last week, Australian chef Marcus Volke murdered and cooked
his girlfriend before killing himself. In Brazil, also last week, a man and two
women were arrested for murdering potential nannies and then cooking their flesh into empanadas.
