MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Four members
of a family have been arrested and charged with murder for allegedly
killing and eating a relative during a wedding reception — and serving
his flesh to unwitting party guests, police have said.
At the
July 17 wedding of his daughter, Eladio Baule got angry with his cousin
Benjie Ganay who tripped and accidentally touched the bride’s bottom,
said Senior Police Inspector Perla Bacuel, at Narra town in Palawan
province, southwest of Manila.
A few hours later, Baule, his son
Gerald, another cousin Junnie Buyot and a nephew, Sabtuari Pique,
allegedly confronted Ganay, then drove him to a secluded place where
they stabbed him to death, Bacuel said.
Buyot, who surrendered to
police and is acting as a witness, told police they then roasted
Ganay’s body using coconut leaves and kerosene, Bacuel said.
