A Chinese cannibal killed an 11-year-old boy and ate his brain in March 2010 in order to cure his epilepsy. It was said that the cannibal Wang Chaoxu, of southwest China, believed an old wives’ tale that eating a child’s brain could cure fits. Police said the boy, Li Xuetang, was found buried three miles away in a grain field in a neighboring village. The top of his head was peeled back and part of his brain removed. People found two blood stained rocks in the field and some fractured bones, before the boy’s body was discovered buried nearby. The boy’s mother was desperate to see her son but was told the body was too badly damaged.

Wang Chaoxu was arrested and told police he believed eating the brain with earthworms and ants would cure his illness. It was claimed a three-year-old girl, who was reported missing on the same day, may also be one of his victims. The girl was found dead in public toilets with a knife cut to her head.
