Alleged adulterer 'beheaded and cooked' in Tanzania
Date January 26, 2015 - 2:41AM
Dar es Salaam: A local leader in Tanzania has been attacked and beheaded by a gang of men, who then cooked some of his body parts, police say.
The attack took place on Friday night in the southern Katavi region of the east African nation, local police chief Dhahiri Kidavashari said, naming the dead man as 31-year-old Richard Madirisha.
Police said there had been local reports accusing Mr Madirisha of adultery.
"Five people stormed Madirisha's room wielding machetes, beheaded him, chopped off legs, hands and genitals," Mr Kidavashari said on Sunday.
"The assailants later cooked the chopped off body parts outside the house," he added.
Three men are being questioned by police over the attack, Mr Kidavashari said.
