[quote=Huffington Post]A Connecticut murder suspect was arrested Tuesday night in Florida after allegedly killing a man with an axe and eating portions of the victim.
According to police in Bridgeport, Conn., 35-year-old Tyree Lincoln Smith was arrested in Lynn Haven, Fla., on a murder warrant issued by the Constitution State. The suspect was taken into custody without incident by local law enforcement and the U.S. Marshal Violent Crime Fugitive Task Force, police said.
The murder suspect, whose last known address is in Bridgeport, was being sought for the murder of 43-year-old Angel "Tun Tun" Gonzalez. The victim's decomposed body was discovered on a mattress inside an abandoned apartment building on Jan. 20. The medical examiner's office determined Gonzalez died as a result of blunt force trauma to the head.
According to the arrest warrant, Smith confessed to his cousin, Nicole Rabb, that he had killed Gonzalez with a hatchet in mid-December. He allegedly said he was sleeping on a porch of an abandoned apartment building when Gonzalez, a man he apparently did not know, woke him up and invited him in out of the cold. After entering the building, Smith allegedly attacked Gonzalez with an axe, police said.
Tyree allegedly told his cousin that the blows to Gonzalez's head were "so severe that he was able to remove an eye from the man's head along with pieces of brain matter and a piece of his skull," the arrest warrant reads.
Afterward, Smith allegedly took the organs to Lakeview Cemetery, where a relative of his is buried.
"At the cemetery he said he ate the eyeball, which tasted like an oyster, and the brain matter," according to the warrant.
During his alleged confession, Smith reportedly spoke of Greek gods and referred to Rabb as "Athena." In Greek mythology, Athena is the goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill.
On Jan. 20, after Smith made his alleged confession, he boarded a Greyhound Bus for Florida and arrived in Panana City on Jan. 23. While Smith was on his journey to Florida, Rabb learned of the discovery of Gonzalez's body and contacted police.
On Tuesday night, police located Smith at a Lynn Haven apartment. At the time of his arrest, Smith was in the company of a woman who police say was "unaware of Smith's actions," and authorities reported that she has fully cooperated with their efforts.[/quote]

oh god no please no not another one of these
Brain matter, yum.
He's gonna get out and we're gonna make a movie about him.
It's been a while since we had ourselves one of these good ol' fashioned nutjobs.
Sounds like this guy was [I]messed up in the head[/I].
I would love to [I]axe[/I] him a few questions.
Why does this remind me of an X-Files episode? He wasn't trying to appear youthful, was he?
You can actually die from eating human brain tissue:

It's just a good thing he wasn't craving a hotdog.
Just to fix the article's mistake, it isn't Panana City, it's Panama City. I live here and heard about that. It was all over the news. It's pretty scary to think something like that happened so close.
He should've cooked it. You don't want to get food poisoning do you?
I guess you could say he has an eye for good food.
Tasty.

Both of the disease are essentially mad cow for humans, they are transmitted the same way. But you can only get kuru from eating the brain of a certain ethnic group in Papua New Guinea, I believe, because that's the only group that has contracted it in the world.
