A gang of five men had invaded the home of a 31-year-old renowned politician, Richard Madirisha, and beheaded him over claims that he committed adultery.
The perpetrators of the act went ahead and chopped off some parts of his body including his genitals, hands and legs and subsequently cooked them outside the house in the southern Katavi region of Tanzania.
A local Police official, Dhahiri Kidavashari, who narrated the incident to AFP on Sunday, January 25, 2015 said, “Five people stormed Madirisha’s room wielding machetes, beheaded him, chopped off legs, hands and genitals.
“The assailants later cooked the chopped off body parts outside the house.”
Meanwhile, Kidavashari disclosed that at least three men were arrested and detained by police in connection with the crime.
