He Likes To Eat Mexican

An aspiring horror novelist was arrested after police discovered his girlfriend's torso in his closet, a leg in the refrigerator and bones in a cereal box.

Jose Luis Calva told police he had boiled some of his girlfriend's flesh but that he hadn't eaten it. He told police he was a writer and poet — officers found the draft of a novel titled "Cannibalistic Instincts," he said.

Investigators were trying to determine if chunks of fried meat found in a pan in the apartment were human, the spokesman said.

Police came to Calva's Mexico City apartment Monday after neighbors reported a fetid smell. They discovered the dismembered body of his girlfriend Alejandra Galeana in a closet. The family of Galeana reported her missing on Friday and told police of her relationship with Calva.

Calva is being investigated in the killings of two other women, including an ex-girlfriend whose dismembered body was found in 2004, and an unidentified prostitute who was killed earlier this year. When he tried to run from police to avoid arrest, he was struck by a car (seen above) and hospitalized.
