Nurse charged in cannibalism investigation

A British nurse whose name emerged as part of an international investigation into cannibalism has been charged with sex offences and attempting to poison someone.

Dale Bolinger, 57, formerly from Canterbury in Kent, is charged with 11 counts in connection with activity over the internet between him and several people.

Kent Police said an investigation was initiated earlier this year as a result of liaison with officers from the FBI in America, investigating offences of conspiracy to kidnap and murder by Gilberto Valle, 28, a former New York police officer.
