'Traditional healer' walks into police station with a human hand and leg, says he is 'tired of eating human flesh'
Two South African men who previously admitted to killing a woman before cannibalizing her corpse have been sentenced to a life in prison. 33-year-old Nino Mbatha and 22-year-old Lungisani Magubane were convicted in the 2017 murder of Zanele Hlatshwayo and handed down the sentence by judge Peter Olsen at the Pietermaritzburg High Court.
According to the Washington Post, Mbatha walked into a police station in Estcourt, a town in KwaZulu-Natal province, carrying a bag with a human hand and leg in August 2017 and bizarrely claimed he was "tired of eating human flesh." When the officers refused to believe his claim, he led them to a house where they found a collection of other body parts, including eight ears in a pot.
