Police in Arusha, Tanzania have arrested a 32-year-old man on allegations of killing his 79-year-old mother.
Daniel Emmanuel, a resident of Sakila area in Arumeru District, Arusha, was, on Saturday, May 16, allegedly found by neighbours drinking his mother’s blood after killing her.
Emmanuel is said to have hacked the neck of his parent, Eliyamulika Emmanuel Sarakikiya, and severed her head from her body. He further chopped off her arms and legs, authorities said.
Police arrived at the scene – Emmanuel’s home – where they found the suspect had tapped and drunk his parent’s blood that was oozing from the victim’s badly-mutilated joints.
Several neighbours interrogated by police said they were “shocked to see the suspect tapping blood from a human being’s mutilated body and drinking it”.
