 Gruesome week of crimes in North America 

Alexander Kinyua of Baltimore, Maryland, was arrested after police searched his house following the discovery by his brother of the victim's head and hands, the Baltimore Sun reported.

Kinyua, a 21-year-old student at Morgan State University, confessed  to murdering and dismembering his roommate, Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie, and then eating parts of his brain followed by his entire heart, the Sun said.

The motive was unclear, but Kinyua was charged with first-degree murder.

The grisly murder caps an especially gruesome week of crimes in North America.

Interpol has launched a manhunt for a Canadian porn star suspected of dismembering his boyfriend and making a video of the murder, while a young man in Miami was shot dead on Saturday as he gnawed off the face of a homeless man.
