Alexander Kinyua, 21, is charged with first-degree murder after police found human body parts in his home

/ Hartford County Sheriff's Office

(CBS) JOPPATOWNE, Md. - Authorities arrested a Morgan State University student on Wednesday after allegedly finding human body parts inside his house and a nearby dumpster, CBS Baltimore reports. Police say the suspect, Alexander Kinyua, admitted to eating portions of the body parts, which they believe belong to a man who lived in the same home and who has been missing since Friday.

Police executed a search warrant on Wednesday morning. Monica Worrell, a sheriff's spokeswoman, said the body parts found in the home had yet to be identified by the chief medical examiner, but authorities believe they belong to Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie, 37, who vanished Friday, reports CBS Baltimore.

According to the station, police said Kinyua's brother went down to the laundry room of the house and saw two metal tins, which he saw contained a head and two hands. When the brother confronted Kinyua about it, Kinyua said they were animal remains..

The brother then got his dad, who went downstairs but the items were reportedly gone.

During their search, police reportedly retrieved the head and hands. When they interviewed the suspect, he told them he cut up the victim with a knife and cannibalized the heart and portions of the brain, reports CBS Baltimore.

Police told the station that they discovered more evidence blocks away, including body parts inside a dumpster on church property.

Hartford County Sheriff's Office said Kinyua is charged with first-degree murder and is being held without bail.

I can bet you that this guy is a member of the Kenyan banned "mungiki" sect, originating from the Kikuyu tribe. This type of ritual killing, blood oathing & cannibalism is a serial signature of this secretive sect.
her's more info on them: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mungiki
They have been involved in murders & killings in Kenya as well as of a Kenyan family here in the USA. That case is open & being investigated by the FBI. The local authorities should seek the help of the Kenyan embassy, as well as re-interviewing this sadistic killer to find out if he has any mungiki ties. The mungiki are terrorists, they kill for their cause.....they are no different from the thugee cult in india who killed for their deity kali.

Most of these types of behavior are kept from the general public by the media and our governments. Surprised his story surfaced and alarmed this guy made it to a college.

Although I think that it is really crazy when anyone eats another human being, it is really unsettling that the two recent cannibal incidents involves black males! What is up with that?!!!

@Donnie_G. You really are an insulting jackass who is just as bad as the man you are judging. You need to be concern with what you and the rest of your sheet klans are hiding in your laundry room...Let me guess,...you and your little playmates are hiding a-a NOOSE, no doubt!!

...You really are an ignorant fool from hell. I was only clowning about the fact that Alexander Kinyua was black, but you, you are serious as a heart-attack with all of that food stamp, fried chicken, and unemployment crap!

If you was anywhere near as smart as you think you are, you would have known that 2/3 of the people receiving public assistance in America are white. White people eat chicken too!...Including fried chicken!! As much outings that I've been to that predominately white people attended where there was food, there was always chicken....FRIED CHICKEN!! And I don't know why ignorant people like you associate fried chicken and watermelon with black people anyways? White people eat those things more so than black people do!....From the very beginning in America, fried chicken and watermelon became popular in this country because of white people! So what the heck are your commenting about?? And America have white folks to thank for unemployment as well. White people invented unemployment in America and white Americans are the one's who are trying to keep people, especially black people that way. It's a control tactic!! You don't have any game, ignorant!!; Reply to this comment
