Man Exhumes and Eats Grandson's Corpse
LUSAKA (Reuters) - Zambian police have arrested a man who exhumed, cooked and ate part of his grandson's corpse, police said Monday. Police spokeswoman Brenda Muntemba said a hunter found the man eating pieces of flesh in a graveyard in Milambo, 600 km (370 miles) north of the capital Lusaka.
"The man exhumed a corpse and cut off some flesh which he cooked in a pot and started eating ... we went to the grave of his grandson and verified that he had exhumed the body," Muntemba told Reuters. Muntemba said police had no idea why the man, who had no history of madness, had started eating his grandson, who died in July. The man was charged with interfering with a dead body and also for trespass in the graveyard.

Anyone else chuckle at the phrase "interfering with a dead body"?

15 yards from the spot of the foul?
(since it is football season...)
I think the technical term for this is ick.

I did.
I had a visual of the grandfather standing in front of it while the dead body tried to go around.
