Man suspected of cannibalism arrested in Pakistan; police say he and brother are repeat offenders

In Islamabad police arrested a man on Monday who is suspected of being a cannibal. Body parts had been found in his house including a skull of a small child. The man's neighbours had complained about a foul smell coming from his house which gave the police a reason to mount a raid on his house. The police believe that the man and his brother had been digging up graves in a nearby graveyard where people had seen the men lurking. The body parts that were found appeared to be a skull of the child but are sending them in for further testing. The police are looking for the man's brother. The man had just recently been let out of jail after dehumanizing a body. In Pakistan there is no law against cannibalism. Many cooked human body parts were found in the brothers homes and are now sentences to 2 years in prison. 

It is truly unthinkable that two people could even think about eating another human being even if they had already passed away. I think that sending them away for 2 years is not long enough and they should have been given life sentences for their crimes. Eating another person is beyond imaginable and it should not be allowed anywhere.
