LUSAKA (Reuters) - Zambian police have arrested a man who exhumed, cooked and ate part of his grandson's corpse, police said Monday.

Police spokeswoman Brenda Muntemba said a hunter found the man eating pieces of flesh in a graveyard in Milambo, 600 km (370 miles) north of the capital Lusaka.

"The man exhumed a corpse and cut off some flesh which he cooked in a pot and started eating ... we went to the grave of his grandson and verified that he had exhumed the body," Muntemba told Reuters.

Muntemba said police had no idea why the man, who had no history of madness, had started eating his grandson, who died in July. The man was charged with interfering with a dead body and also for trespass in the graveyard.

Right this is disgusting. But in impoverished Zambia, some have unfortunately to resort to expedients. The guy is prolly more than 50, un-employed and litterally thrown in the street by his younger and equally impoverished relatives. Don't make me wrong, I don't approave the guy, I expose the rash reality in some part of Africa, where some position call for a mercyless tackling

I think in some places in Africa, it's customary to eat dead peoples inards.

Yup - this kind of sick crap happens all the time there.

Consider yourself lucky you don't have to hear about it on a regular basis
