(CBS/AP) BRIDGEPORT, Conn. - A man charged with hacking a Connecticut man to death with an ax and eating some of his body parts is due in state court under tight security after being returned from Florida.

Tyree Lincoln Smith, 35, is scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday in Bridgeport Superior Court on a murder charge. The Connecticut Post reports that Smith was returned to Connecticut on Tuesday afternoon after having been arrested last week in Lynn Haven, Fla.
