Man accused of killing and planning to eat girl

AN AMERICAN man accused of strangling a 10-year-old girl and plotting to eat her flesh is facing a trial for first degree murder.

Prosecutors have said they will seek the death penalty for Kevin Ray Underwood, 26, who is accused of strangling Jamie Rose Bolin.

Underwood lived in the same apartment complex as the girl, who was reported missing on April 12 after failing to return home from the library. Her body was found nearly decapitated inside Underwood’s apartment, investigators have said.
