Man kills woman, then eats her

A man suspected to have murdered a woman and ate parts of her flash was killed by a mob in Malawi's Liwonde village in Chikwawa district, Daily Sun reports.

An officer at the Chikwawa police station was quoted by the newspaper saying that the murder was too gruesome and no one would want to see the mutilated body.

Soon after the crime, an angry mob approached the suspect and chased him down and killed him.

The development marked a surge in the number of mob killings that have ravaged the southern African nation in the past months.

An unknown man was recently reported to have been beaten to death after he was suspected of stealing in Balaka District.

The man was said to have been found in a neighbour's house, following which he was severely beaten and left on nearby railway tracks, where he was run over by a train.
