The woman was placidly scooping up his brains and eating them. She was also tearing off chunks of flesh from the body and munching on them. Blood was dripping from her fingers, which she licked from time to time.
“I will have nightmares for a long time after this,” said Bonani Chingwe, one of the villagers.
Katandwa allegedly acted like she was possessed when the villagers tried to stop her as she took the axe and chased after them.
Police officers who arrived at the scene eventually arrested her and she complained that they had disturbed her before she finished her meal.
“I think this woman is insane because she behaved like someone eating the most delicious food. There have been a number of horrific murders in the area but this one is the scariest. I know this woman's mother and I think she will be shocked to hear what her daughter has done. She needs help,” said Monica Manyemwe.
