LONDON: The man who won the first Mr. Gay UK award is now on trial for reportedly killing a man and cooking, even chewing, parts of his body Anthony Morley, who worked as a chef, was arrested last April for the murder of his friend Damian Oldsfield, whose flesh was recovered by the police from Morley's kitchen.

The Leeds Crown Court heard that the two men arranged to meet at Morley's house in the evening of April 23. Morley apparently cooked a meal they both ate and retired to the bedroom.

Police said sexual activity ensued, following which Morley allegedly stabbed his friend until he died. He then carved his flesh, The Telegraph reported.

The court heard six pieces of cooked human flesh, identified as being from Oldfield's body, were found on a chopping board, while a further piece of flesh, which appeared to have been chewed, was found in a bin bag.

Andrew Stubbs, prosecutor in the case, said: "From a chopping board on one of the kitchen units, six pieces of cooked flesh, which had been seasoned with fresh herbs and fried in olive oil were recovered. The flesh was human in origin. A further piece of cooked flesh, which appears to have been chewed, was recovered from a bin bag in the kitchen."

"Having killed the victim upstairs, the defendant carved away a piece of flesh, took it downstairs to his kitchen, where he seasoned it, fried it and tried to eat it," he added.

Morley denies murdering Oldfield and told the police when he was arrested that someone had tried to rape him. The trial continues. flesh.http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/World/Mr_UK_gay_accused_of_cannibalis...

I totally agree with you, realsomeone!

I remember this old joke when this cheif of a cannibal tribe left his jungle & went to visit the "new world of the white man". He noticed that this "civilized" country had a BIIIIIG army & they were killing lots of people in many countries.

He then asked the president: "what do you do with all the bodies of the people you kill?"

President: "we just leave them!"

Cannibal Cheif: "Duhhhh? And they call you "civilized"? Atleast WE kill to eat!!!"

So! Cannibals kill to eat! But can a gay eat that "sausage", which he is fond of?

Of course, being gay made him a cannibal, cause all gay people are obviously out there chopping up and eating people. What a stupid statement.

Real, I dont think the fact that he was gay made him a cannibal. I also dont think that being gay made him insane. I hate such analogies....

If he was raped and killed the guy, then he was probably "not of a sane mind" and thus acted abnormaly.

Perhaps I should be a lawyer :)

evil leads to another evil, being gay is evil and it led to cannibalism.

I get the retribution for rape part, cant say I would do the same thing. It is the slicing cutlets off the guy, herb seasoning them and frying it in olive oil that gets me.

There is more to this case.. It looks like it was a crime of passion or retribution for rape.

As The Times reports, the guy says that he was raped. The murdered guy was said to be “openly gay, was naturally outgoing and bubbly and was both flirtatious and promiscuous. “

Mr Morley - wearing a white dressing gown and flip flops - walked into a nearby takeaway and asked the staff to contact the police. He told them that he had killed someone who had tried to rape him, then quietly sat down on the

Forensic medical and scientific tests revealed the two men had sex before Mr Morley launched his fatal attack, probably by slitting Mr Oldfield’s throat then stabbing him repeatedly with two knives.

Deep wounds had fractured ribs and punctured several of the victim’s vital organs.

“He continued to stab and stab and stab him until he died. Even when he was dead the attack continued until finally Mr Morley cut parts of flesh from the body,” said the prosecutor.

The arabic script name is Abu Babo....

And I think there are far worse people than homosexuals. Being gay does not physicall harm anyone else, but murderers, rapists, child molestors.. the list is endless. At the end of the day someones sexual preference is really no ones business.
