When police stormed the home of Jose Luis Calva in Mexico City last week they found the table set for dinner, complete with a plate of fried human flesh.

They also found his unfinished manuscript, Cannibal Instincts, along with the mutilated body of, Alejandra Galeana. Calva admitted that he had killed Galeana following an argument but said that he had removed an arm and a leg so that he could dispose of the body piecemeal. Calva is suspected of committing two similar crimes. An ex girlfriend revealed that Calva "was a jealous, possessive lover who believed in witchcraft and practiced rituals, including hammering a cow's tongue to a board." She doesn't specify whether or not a cow was attached to the tongue at the time.

Calva is suspected of committing two similar crimes but he denies anything to do with them. Probably doesn't like bringing up old girlfriends.
