'I ate my roommate', says teen

Wednesday, August 29, 2007

A teenager claims to have killed his room-mate then eaten parts of his brain 
and internal organs.

The 19-year-old, named only as Robert A, has confessed to murdering the 
49-year-old man he met in a homeless shelter, it was reported.

Robert crushed his room-mate's skull with a 9kg iron bar before using a 
butcher's knife to remove his intestines. Officers found the body lying in a 
pool of blood, with body parts spread around the room and half-eaten on a 
plate in the kitchen.

The murder was discovered yesterday when a cleaner went into the shelter. 
Robert allegedly told her about the murder and asked her to contact the 
police, according to The Times.

The man, known as Joseph S, is thought to have been killed about three days 
ago and his body was found at the ground-floor, two-bedroom flat in Vienna 
where the two men lived alone.

A police investigator said: "We are supposed to be prepared for situations 
like this, but this surpasses the limits of imagination."

Robert was placed at the shelter, which was set up to provide accommodation 
for mentally ill people living on the street, this month. His room-mate was 
registered there since June.
