A newly-wed couple have been arrested for reportedly cooking and eating the genitals of the woman’s suspected rapist after her husband allegedly murdered him and cut off his private parts.
According to reports from Indonesia where the incident occurred, the woman claimed she was raped a week before her wedding.
AFP reports that the victim’s body was found in a burnt-out van after a suspected revenge attack.
The husband, 30-year-old Rudi Efendi, has admitted murdering the man after discovering his wife was not a virgin on their wedding night in September and being told of the alleged rape, but insists he acted alone.
“I was so outraged,” Efendi told reporters after his arrest last month, adding that deciding to eat the victim’s genitals was “to cure my heartache”.
Police say that after murdering the man, Efendi took home the victim’s severed genitals, ordered his 20-year-old wife to cook them, and the pair then ate them together.
The victim was a driver, whom the wife used to date.
Sulistyaningsih, a local police spokeswoman who goes by one name, told AFP, “The case is still under investigation but we strongly suspect that this is a premeditated murder.”
The husband is accused of carrying out the murder, while police believe the wife acted as an accomplice.
