The suspect has been charged with murder and is currently being held at the Talisayan Police Station.

Police will then consult with the psychiatrist to determine the suspect’s mental state.

The identity of the victim is not yet known, so police have urged families with missing relatives to go to the Gomez Funeral Homes, where the woman’s remains were taken.

Such an incident can be considered as human cannibalism. There are cases of people who have mental illness engaging in cannibalism, such as what FilipiKnow reported in “5 Horrifying Pinoy Cannibals.”
