Man Digs Up Corpse And Cooks The Body Parts

Beijing - A Chinese man has been sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison for digging up a woman's corpse and eating her ears, nose and breasts, the government said on Monday.

Gui Jiachun was convicted of defiling a corpse by a court in Shitai County, in the eastern province of Anhui, reports said.

It said the offence was committed February 11 but didn't give the date of the ruling.

The court ruled that Gui should be imprisoned instead of beingt taken to hospital for mental illness because he was capable of controlling his actions.

Gui took an axe and a razor to the cemetery the same day that a fellow villager was buried after dying from an illness.

He exhumed the woman, cut off the body parts, took them home and cooked and ate them.
