Mexican writer ‘cut up and ate’ body

AN aspiring Mexican writer appeared in court this week on charges of murder and desecrating a corpse after he allegedly cut up and ate part of his girlfriend’s body.

But he refused to make a formal plea, saying, “I can’t get my thoughts together right now.”

Jose Luis Calva — better known in tabloids as Mexico City’s “cannibal” — had previously acknowledged to police killing 32-year-old girlfriend Alejandra Galeana.
