Shocking photographs have emerged of a
cannibal by the name of Mad Dog eating the flesh of a lynched Muslim
man for the second time in as many weeks.
In
one, 'Mad Dog' - real name Ouandja Magloire - cuts a portion of meat
from the body of a murdered Muslim lying burning on a roundabout in the
capital of the Central African Republic, with the body of another a few
yards away. WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
Another photograph shows him licking a
bloodied knife as he stands over a body, wearing the same T-shirt he
was pictured in during the previous act of cannibalism.
According to The Associated Press,
the men were killed by residents of the Sango neighbourhood in revenge
for the lynching of a taxi driver from Sango a day earlier.
Two other Muslim passers-by escaped to the protection of French and African peacekeeping forces.
The agency understands that Magloire didn't take part in the killings, but turned up in the aftermath.
According to its source, he is the only person in the Central African Republic known to be carrying out acts of cannibalism.
Earlier in the month horrific footage emerged from Bangui of Magloire eating the leg of a Muslim who, according to the BBC, was hauled from a bus, battered and then stabbed before being set on fire.
In the aftermath of the incident, Magloire grabbed hold of his leg and then began to devour it.
Magloire told a BBC reporter at the time that his action was
revenge for the murders of his pregnant wife, his sister-in-law and her
baby.
He claimed that Muslims were responsible and he was angry with them.
'They broke down the door and cut my baby in half. I promised I would get my revenge,' he said.
‘Mad Dog’ spotted his victim on a minibus and followed him after deciding he looked Muslim.
He gathered a crowd of about 20 Christian youths who forced the bus driver to stop and dragged him from the bus.
Without emotion he told the BBC: 'I poured petrol over him. I burned him. I ate his leg, right down the white bone.'
Witnesses did not intervene but recorded the footage on mobile phones, including the act of cannibalism.
A video shows his cheeks bulging as he consumes the flesh.
Witness
Jean-Sylvestre Tchya told news agency AFP: 'One of the individuals took
hold of an arm and went and bought some bread and starting chewing on
the flesh, along with his bread.
'The scene made many people vomit, and some cried out in horror.'
Another witness, Alain Gbabobou, said he watched a man wrap the head up and proclaim that he would 'feast on it'.
