A Mexican man killed his lover in a drunken, drugged fight then cooked the man's body in tomato and onion sauce and ate it over three days.
Police found Gumaro de Dios Arias grilling rotting human flesh for his breakfast, including part of a heart, when they raided a shack he lived in near the Caribbean beach resort of Playa del Carmen, a police chief said on Wednesday.
"He was preparing stews. There was a grill where he was cooking part of the heart and bits he had cut off the body. It was terrible, terrible," said local police chief Martin Estrada, who was among a dozen police who raided the shack.
Arias told police the victim, a young man, arrived at his cardboard hut in a wasteland area with a mutual friend who then left the two of them drinking and taking drugs.
The pair had sex and afterward a fight broke out during which he killed the man with blows to the head, police said.
Police arrested Arias, 25, on Tuesday after a tip off. "They said there was a person eating a person," Estrada said.
"We found him lying on a folding bed and to one side was the corpse which had been torn apart and which it seems he had been eating for three days," he told Reuters.
The corpse, which had its back ripped open and its innards pulled out, was missing various parts, like a thigh, he said.

*gag* This means Elvis will be dug up and dusted off for a new set of promo tours, TV specials, endorsements, coffee cups, commerative CD sets, dolls..... Elvis isn't dead, he's the undead. Next time be sure to put a stake in his heart.
A routine traffic stop turned into a drug bust when Oklahoma Highway Patrol troopers found 610 pounds of marijuana stashed in four coffins. Authorities say Timothy Hynd and Robert Dean Harper were charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute before being released on Monday. The arrest occurred on Sunday, highway patrol spokesman Lt. Brandon Kopepasah said, after troopers stopped a truck traveling slightly above the speed limit near the rural city of Salisaw. The men consented to a search, and trained dogs "hit" on the cargo section of the truck, he said. "They unloaded 22 caskets," Kopepasah said. "You had to unload all those caskets and the very front caskets were loaded with marijuana." An attorney for one of the men said his client was unaware there was marijuana in the caskets and was only delivering them. "He didn't check inside the caskets for drugs -- would you?" attorney Donn Baker said.

Most likely caskets were loaded by forklift. Unless it's delivery to a very small firm, the driver would not handle a load himself. They'll do a backround check and see if his prints are on the load.

Ick. Rotting flesh does not make for good shishkabobs. That's why the rest of us refrigerate our murdered friends. Or even enemies: remember the head our guys found on one of their raids not so long ago?

If you run out of drunken friends (and you very well might), there is always "turista, el otro carne blanco." All those fat Quebecois snowbirds in speedos better watch out.
THE deep-fried Mars bar ( US Milky Way), a nutritionist's nightmare that surfaced in Scotland about a decade ago, is now an established part of the Scottish culinary scene, according to a letter published in The Lancet.
Dipped in batter and then cooked in hot oil, the Mars bar is now on sale in more than a fifth of Scotland's 627 fish-and-chip shops, it says.
The average sale is 23 bars per shop per week, but some shops say they sell up to 200 a week, it records.
The deep-fried Mars bar first surfaced in news reports in 1995, reputedly originating in the eastern city of Aberdeen.
Promoters of Scottish tourism - aghast at this damage to their efforts to highlight Scotland's history, culture and landscape - joined with middle-class foodies in deriding the DFMB as media hype.
But this is untrue, say authors David Morrison and Mark Pettigrew of the Greater Glasgow NHS Board, who contend the snack is "deep and crisp and eaten."
"Scotland's deep-fried Mars bar is not just an urban myth," they say.
Health experts have condemned the deep-fried Mars bar as an artery-clogging catastrophe.
Scotland is already ranked as the country with the highest rate of chronic heart disease in Western Europe, a position that owes itself to cigarettes and alcohol as well as a poor diet and a love of sugary foods.
Critics should take heart, though.
The Mediterranean diet is penetrating into Scotland, "albeit in the form of deep-fried pizza," say Morrison and Pettigrew.
Pizza is one of several items that customers have asked shops to deep-fry, along with bananas, pineapple rings and creme eggs, a highly sweet confectionery.
The letter is published next Saturday's issue of the British medical weekly.

I've always said that there's no food so delicious that it can't be made better by deep-frying. Leave it to the Scots to prove it! I see these things at the state fair every year, but so far I haven't had the stones to try one. The pizza has to be about trying to p*ss people off, though.

I remember hearing last year, a feature on one of the NPR news and commentary shows about deep fried cheesecake. For your artery-clogging pleasure, pieces of cheesecake were frozen, and wrapped in a couple of layers of phyllo dough, and deep-friend. A chef who had come up with the idea did a demo for the reporter, who taste-tested it, and insisted that it was actually very, very good.
NEW DELHI - The technology used to run New Delhi's shiny new metro system is so advanced there is no possibility of a train wreck like those that afflict Indian Railways, the chief of the project claimed Thursday.
This from the country that can't maintain a MiG-21.
"The best insurance against accidents is technology itself," E. Sreedharan, managing director of Delhi Metro Rail Corp., said ahead of Sunday's opening of the first underground metro stretch by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. "We have the most advanced signalling and operational philosophy. There is no chance of any type of collision," Sreedharan told reporters.
I think I'll call a taxi. They're much safer.
His remarks come after 38 people died Tuesday in a head-on train collision in the north Indian state of Punjab because of a failure to coordinate traffic on a single railway line.
"If you make something idiot-proof, someone will build a better idiot."

Considering how many times this sort of thing has blown up in the face of the fool who says it, you'd think this guy would keep his yap shut, lol! Musta flunked History - or mebbe he went to a Madrassah or some equally pointless institution.
Reminds me of Famous Last Words... that aren't true. My favorite is Oscar Wilde's famous last words... that he didn't say: "Either this wallpaper goes, or I do!"

I have met that better idiot guy.
Up to this point I haven't seen him about any trains. But this is India we are talking about.
I haven't been there. I have see pictures of wrecked train from India however. It's often SRO on the roof.

Lol, AC. This image was from a terrific Something Awful photoshop-style contest, often a rather bizarre place to browse, to spoof CNN and its style of Terrorism reportage... You may get a kick out of it...

Delhi smells alot , prolly best to travel underground :)
On a side note , an undergound in delhi provides extremists with a VERY target rich enviroment , I hope my Indian colleagues have thought long and hard about the security inmplications ...

Having ridden in traffic in India, I can say that even if this magic train managed to never crash on its own, cars and trucks and guys on motorcycles carrying sheet glass (no joke) will find ways put themselves under its wheels.
I hope he salted those words well, he's going to eat them, probably soon.

Ah, its a subway. Didn't catch that. Still, not wise to say no chance of crashes. Like painting a bullseye on your head.

That is quite enough of that, Mojo. Sit yourself down right now and behave yourself. Do not make go over there, or you will be very sorry, young man!
LAHORE: A middle aged man died on Thursday evening when he was smoking hashish and dancing at the shrine of Turt Murad Shah in Lawrence Gardens. Habibur Rehman of Gujrat suddenly fell down and fainted. He was taken to the hospital where doctors pronounced him dead. The body was sent for an autopsy.
"Well, Dr. Quincy? What do you think?"
"I think God struck him dead, Sam."

He didn't pay attention when his munchy time alarm went off. When this happens, the tragic result is hypoglycemic Dervishes lose their Whirl. Nothing left for the spin cycle... I guess he needed an MSM reporter to show up before he died, not after. So sad.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.
Rantburg.com and borderlandbeat.com correspondent and author Chris Covert presents his first non-fiction work detailing
the drug and gang related violence in Mexico.
Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
dominated Mexico for six years.
Rantburg was assembled from recycled algorithms in the United States of America. No
trees were destroyed in the production of this weblog. We did hurt some, though. Sorry.
