Apparently, zombie-like behavior isn’t just the rage in South Florida—cannibal attacks are happening in Maryland, too.

Alexander Kinyua a 21-year-old student at Morgan State University in Baltimore, was charged with homicide after he admitted to police this week that he ate the brain and heart of a man who had gone missing a few days earlier, WJZ reports.

Kinyua’s family called police after his brother discovered a blanket hiding two metal tins containing a man’s head and hands in the basement of their Joppatowne, Md. home. Police believe the dismembered body parts belong to Kujoe Agyei-Kodie, who had been renting a room in the house. The rest of the body was discovered in a dumpster behind a nearby church.

Kinyua has a history of violence, WJZ reports:

WJZ has learned Kinyua was in the process of being expelled from school after he attacked another student with a baseball bat in the dorms.

A student who didn’t want to be identified tells WJZ: “I just heard it was a random attack on a student, a student here. He was just walking down and stairs and boom! He just hit him.”

That student suffered a skull fracture, fractures in the arm and shoulder and was also blinded in the left eye.

Police investigating Kinyua’s flesh feast say that he hasn’t expressed any remorse or explanation for why he ate Agyei-Kodie’s body parts. But it has been learned that Kinyua had published online statements about cults and ethnic cleansing.
