Photo: 3 Brothers Who Killed And Eat Their Mother’s Body Parts In Philippines

Three brothers in the Philippines are said to have ganged up against their mother, killed her and eaten her organs.

Dante, 35, Paroy, 21, and Ibrahim, 18, are believed to have murdered their 56-year-old mother, Musala Amil and then feasted on some of her body parts.
Musala’s corpse was severely mutilated and drained of blood when it was discovered by the police.

According to reports:

The sons ate parts of their mother raw, investigators said. The brothers all deny killing their mother.

They said they had been trying to drive away an illness they believed was brought on by a bad spirit. Officials investigating events leading to the gory discovery said the ritual killing happened last Wednesday.

Police are looking into reports the family had a history of mental disorders but are not ruling out the role of drug abuse in the killing.

Senior Inspector Ronald De Leon, Ampatuan Chief of Police, said the suspects will undergo drug tests. The three men are of the Moro indigenous ethnic Muslim race.

All three suspects reside in a family farm at Purok Nabadtog in Barangay Kamasi in Ampatuan. Community leaders said the three men killed their mother and feasted on parts of her body as if they were wild animals. The village drew notoriety for the 2009 massacre of 58 people.
