Mexican "Cannibal" Kills Himself

A Mexican man accused of murdering his girlfriend and eating her body parts has been found dead in his prison cell. Jose Luis Calva was found hanging by his belt in the jail in Mexico City after apparently committing suicide. Mr. Calva was arrested on October 8, by police investigating the disappearance of his girlfriend, Alejandra Galeana. In his flat in the capital, they found her dismembered bod and a draft of an unfinished novel, Cannibal Instincts. The discovery also led to him being investigated in connection with the murders of his ex-girlfriend in 2004 and a prostitute, whose body was found in plastic bags in the city earlier this year. Officials said they were investigating how he got the belt he apparently used to hang himself when he was supposed to be on continuous suicide watch.
