From Reuters
LIBREVILLE, Gabon —
A local witch doctor has confessed to having eaten six people, including two of his own children, over the last decade, the Gabonese daily L’Union said Tuesday.
It quoted police as saying that 35-year-old Ntem Mba, a railway employee, killed humans and ate their flesh as part of ritual ceremonies. Mba was detained when one of his sons said he was responsible for the recent disappearance of a teacher who had sought his help to solve personal problems.
