Police on Tuesday arrested a newly wed Indonesian couple accused of
allegedly eating the genitals of the woman's suspected rapist. It is
believed that the man identified as Rudi Efendi had ordered his wife to
contact the victim and set up a meeting, but when the victim arrived, he
found only Efendi, who then allegedly stabbed him to death, cut off his
genitals and set his vehicle on fire.
According to a report by AFP, the victim’s body was found in a
burnt-out van after a suspected revenge attack sparked by claims from
the new wife she was raped a week before her wedding on Sumatra island.
The husband, 30-year-old Efendi, has admitted murdering the man
after discovering his wife was not a virgin on their wedding night in
September and being told of the alleged rape, but insists he acted
alone. The victim was a driver, whom the wife used to date.
He said his reasons for killing the man was because he raped his wife. “I was so outraged,” Efendi told reporters after his arrest last month, adding that 'deciding to eat the victim’s genitals was 'to cure my heartache.'
Police say that after murdering the man, Efendi took home the
victim’s severed genitals, ordered his 20-year-old wife to cook them,
and the pair then ate them together.
The husband is accused of carrying out the murder, while police
believe the wife acted as an accomplice. The victim was found dead in
early October in a burnt-out van in Tulangbawang district, Lampung
province. Police later arrested Efendi and his wife.
Lampung Police chief, Brig. Gen. Edward Syah Pernong, said that
when Rudi’s wife, Nency heard about the discovery of an unidentified
body in a burned-out black Daihatsu Xenia in Penumangan Lama village on
Oct. 4, she believed the body could be that of her missing husband.
Investigation into the matter is still ongoing.
