According to report, four men have been charged to a Magistrate court for cannibalism in South Africa, after one of them reportedly walked into a police station and confessed that he was “tired” of eating human flesh.

It was gathered that after the man was questioned further by the police, shockingly he produced part of a human leg and hand, after which the police then accompanied him back to a house in KwaZulu-Natal where more body parts were found.

A Police source disclosed that, four men, two of them traditional healers, were later arrested and charged with murder and conspiracy to murder. They appeared at the Estcourt Magistrate’s Court on Monday where a police spokesperson said that it is possible that the four young men, aged between 22 and 32 years old, are part of a bigger syndicate.

While investigation is still on, police have urged people whose relatives have disappeared in the vicinity of Estcourt to come forward while a team of forensic experts has been called in to identify the remains, as it is not clear whether the body parts belong to one or several victims.
