Kenya student eats the brain and heart of Ghanaian room mate

A former Morgan State University student admitted to dismembering his roommate and eating some of his body parts, the Harford County Sheriff's Office said yesterday Thursday May 31

According to charging documents, Alexander Kinyua, 21, killed his roommate, Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie, 37, who was a native of Ghana, with a knife and then ate his heart and part of his brain.


Kinyua is charged with first-degree murder and first- and second-degree assault.

Investigators said the magnitude of what happened to the victim transcends just about any other violent crime they've seen. Detectives said Kinyua expressed no reason or remorse for his behavior.

Kinyua, an engineering student at Morgan State, was kicked out of the school about two weeks ago.
Police said he moved back into his family's home in the 500 block of Terrapin Terrace in Joppatowne, where Agyei-Kodie had been renting a room. Officials said the living arrangement turned horrific within a week.
Detectives said Agyei-Kodie had left to go jogging about a week ago without any of his personal effects, and had not been seen since. The Kinyuas reported him missing on May 25.

A few days later, police got a call from the suspect's father about a gruesome discovery in his basement.
"Specifically, a human head and two human hands in two tins," said Harford County Sheriff Jesse Bane.
Police said the family confronted Kinyua, who denied that they were human and said they were animal remains. Deputies executed a search and seizure warrant at the home on Wednesday, where they discovered the remains.
