Two Men Arrested for Cannibalism

Old habits die hard. Two brothers in Pakistan who were previously jailed for cannibalism were arrested once again on Monday after authorities found an infant’s severed head in their home. Muhammad Arif and Farman Ali were apprehended in their remote village of Bhakkar after neighbors complained about a “foul smell” coming from their home. Muhammad told police the infant was disinterred from a graveyard before they cooked and ate the remains. The brothers already made headlines in Pakistan in 2011 for admitting to eating five corpses dug up from graveyards. Cannibalism isn’t a crime in Pakistan, so they were convicted for defiling bodies and each served about a year and a half in prison.
