I boiled my girlfriend’s flesh, says novelist
AN ASPIRING horror novelist has been arrested after police discovered his girlfriend’s torso in his closet, a leg in the refrigerator and bones in a cereal box.
Jose Luis Calva told police he had boiled some of his girlfriend’s flesh but that he had not eaten it.
Calva claimed he was a writer and poet - officers found the draft of a novel entitled Cannibalistic Instincts.
Investigators are trying to determine if chunks of fried meat found in a pan in the apartment in Mexico City were human.
Police went to Calva’s apartment after neighbours reported a smell. They discovered the dismembered body of his girlfriend, Alejandra Galeana, a 30-year-old pharmacy clerk, in a closet.
Her family had reported her missing on Friday and told police of her relationship with Calva.
Calva is also being investigated over the killings of two other women - another pharmacy worker and an unidentified prostitute..
He tried to run from police to avoid arrest, but was struck by a car and was still in hospital last night.
