The arrests started when one of the suspects walked into the Estcourt cop shop and confessed to the cops on duty that he was ‘tired of eating human flesh’.

Five people accused of eating human flesh are set to apply for bail in the Escort Magistrate’s Court on Monday morning.

Two of the suspects are traditional healers.

“When he was questioned, he produced part of a human leg and a hand. Further investigation led police to a house in the Rensburgdrift area in Estcourt where police were met with a foul smell, and more human remains were found,” said Escort Cops spokesperson Colonel Thembeka Mbhele.

Angry residents of Escourt have gathered outside the court to oppose bail.
