Ex-convict found eating corpse
BANGKOK: A former convict found eating a partially cremated corpse in north-east Thailand was arrested but freed without charge because police could not find a law against cannibalism, police said yesterday.
Sakorn Piengphon, 50, was arrested and questioned after he was found two weeks ago eating the body of Kote Nonthasorn, said police Major Suphakorn Hiengboon.
But because Thailand has no law specifically banning cannibalism, Maj Suphakorn said the man was released without charge.
?I don't know what to charge him with. ?He appeared in a poor mental state. I have asked the provincial psychiatrist to check on his mental health,? he said.
Sakorn was found eating Kote's unburned organs the day after the cremation, when Kote's relatives went back to the cemetery to ensure the body had burned completely and to collect her ashes, Maj Suphakorn said. ? AFP
