Maryland man charged with killing, eating man's brain, heart
Man, 21, charged with first-degree murder

May 31, 2012
The
21-year-old college student allegedly told detectives that he hadn't
just killed the man who'd lived with his family for months, but had
eaten his heart and portions of his brain. The victim's severed head and
hands were found in the men's Harford County home; more remains were
left in a trash container outside a church.
Authorities outlined
the macabre circumstances Thursday in charges against Alexander Kinyua,
an electrical engineering major at Morgan State University and member of
his school's ROTC program, of first-degree murder in the death of
37-year-old Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie, a Ghanaian national and a former
master's degree student.
Kinyua's father reported that
Agyei-Kodie went missing last Friday after going for a jog, but the
investigation eventually led back to the family home. Kinyua was being
held Thursday without bond, and authorities were exploring whether
others participated in the crime or knew about it, based on what they
called inconsistencies in statements made by the suspect's family.
Harford
authorities said the killing was among the most brutal — and bizarre —
they'd seen. The case comes on the heels of grisly incidents in Miami —
where a naked man believed to be high on synthetic drugs known as "bath
salts" ate another man's face — and New Jersey, where a man disemboweled
himself and reportedly threw his intestines at police officers.
Harford
County Sheriff Jesse Bane said of the allegations against Kinyua: "I've
been with the agency 40 years, and I would say this is the first time I
can remember … where someone was placed under arrest in Harford County
and as part of his crime he consumed the victim.
"I've not encountered that in this county, and I hope we never encounter it again," he added.
Despite
Kinyua's alleged confession, which a spokeswoman described as
"matter-of-fact," police said they did not know of a motive for the
crime and said they would not speculate on his mental state or whether
drugs played a role. They were consulting with the FBI's behavioral
analysis unit for guidance.
But accounts from Morgan officials
and classmates, as well as social media postings by Kinyua, suggest he
was growing increasingly troubled as his third year of school came to a
close. In January, he was dismissed from the ROTC program after an
outburst, and in May he was arrested for allegedly fracturing the skull
of a classmate with a baseball bat. The classmate was blinded in one eye
as a result of what campus police called a "random" attack.
His Facebook page includes commentary about the "destruction of the black family" and "mass human sacrifices."
"THIS IS THE BRUTAL BASIS, AN EVIL & TERRIFYING METHOD OF THIS DEATH CULTS," he wrote in one message.
Students
familiar with Kinyua said he was well known around campus but regarded
as odd. Jasmine Bloomfield said he was "always in his own little world,
preaching everywhere he went and talking about how he was writing a
book."
Natalie Fabien, 21, who had mutual friends with Kinyua,
said his behavior was often unusual and he was prone to outbursts, but
also showed genuine concern for others. "If anything ever happened to
me, he'd be like, 'Who did it and why?' He always wanted to protect
people from bad stuff," Fabien said.
Word of Kinyua's arrest was a
hot topic Thursday around Morgan's campus, even though most of its
7,000 students are on summer break. "If you're part of the Morgan
family, it's a big family, so word goes around fast," said Stephen
Copeland, 28, a senior. "Everybody's in shock."
The victim,
Agyei-Kodie, had also attended Morgan State on a student visa. He was
dismissed by the university after a 2008 conviction in Baltimore County
for a fourth-degree sex offense, harassment and stalking, resulting in
an 18-month jail term. He also had attended Towson University for a
time, a spokeswoman for that school confirmed.
Agyei-Kodie had
lived with Kinyua's family in the 500 block of Terrapin Terrace in Joppa
for about six months and did not know anyone else in the area,
according to police reports. Kinyua's father, Antony, told police that
Agyei-Kodie had recently been "depressed" after being apprehended on an
immigration warrant and was facing likely deportation.
Police
issued a public appeal Monday for help in finding Agyei-Kodie, who was
said to have left for a jog at 5:30 a.m. on May 25 wearing a T-shirt and
black athletic shorts. Monica Worrell, a county police spokeswoman,
said investigators had concerns about statements made by Kinyua's
family.
Late Tuesday night, Antony Kinyua notified police that
his son, Jarrod Kinyua, had found what they believed were human remains
in the basement of the house, according to charging documents. Upon
their arrival, Jarrod Kinyua told police he found a human head and two
human hands inside metal tins under a blanket in the laundry room.
When
he asked Alexander Kinyua about the remains, Jarrod Kinyua said, his
brother denied that they were human and said they were animal remains,
according to charging documents. After calling his father downstairs,
Jarrod and Antony Kinyua discovered that the remains had been moved and
Alexander Kinyua was washing out the metal tins.
With a
search-and-seizure warrant for the location, deputies were able to
locate the head and hands on the main floor of the house, according to
charging documents.
They also interviewed Alexander Kinyua, who
allegedly admitted that he had killed Agyei-Kodie by cutting him up with
a knife and then eating his heart and portions of his brain.
Kinyua
also directed police to Towne Baptist Church, about a mile away in the
500 block of Trimble Road, where the rest of the remains were found in a
trash container on the property, according to charging documents.
Bane
said the remains were being sent for further analysis, to assure
investigators that "we're dealing with one victim," Bane said. But
officials said they did not have any reason to believe there were
additional victims.
At Kinyua's first court appearance Thursday
at Harford District Court in Bel Air, defense attorney Lynne McChrystal
requested reasonable bail in the case, adding that Kinyua has been in
Harford County for six years and in Maryland for nine years. She said he
was self-employed, performing "consulting work."
Appearing via
live video feed from prison, Kinyua wore a Harford County Detention
Center uniform: a black-and-white striped pair of pants and matching
T-shirt. Upon questioning by Judge John L. Dunnigan, Kinyua said that
all of his family members lived in Maryland and that he was originally
from Nairobi, Kenya.
Assistant State's Attorney Trenna Manners
cited those out-of-country ties, as well as the "grisly" nature of the
crime, when she asked for Kinyua to be held without bail, and the judge
agreed.
Before May, Kinyua had no prior criminal record. In
January, he was dismissed from the ROTC program after 2 1/2 years of
participation, said Lt. Col. James Lewis, a professor of military
service who oversees the program. Officials said it followed a
disciplinary incident.
Then on May 20, Kinyua was charged with
first-degree assault and reckless endangerment. In that case, according
to police, Kinyua attacked another Morgan student in a doorway of the
on-campus Thurgood Marshall apartment complex with a baseball bat, then
fled into a nearby wooded area.
The victim, listed as Joshua
Ceasar, suffered fractures to his skull, arm and shoulder, as well as
blindness to his left eye. The first responding officer saw Ceasar
stumbling toward her with blood coming from his forehead, and the
officer noted a large amount of blood in the doorway.
Fabien, who
said she knew Kinyua, said she saw him in the moments before the
attack. She said he was sitting in a chair, clutching the bat. "He kept
saying, 'Somebody has to protect the kids. I gotta protect the kids,'"
she said.
Kinyua was ordered held on $220,000 bond in that case,
and university officials said the school was in the process of expelling
him. According to court records, two Baltimore residents posted
property to secure bond for his release on May 23.
On May 25,
what appeared to be a plea from his parents for help paying Kinyua's
legal fees in the case was posted on Mwakilishi.com, a Kenyan news
website. The post, which has since been removed, said Kinyua had been
arrested for "being involved in a fight in his dormitory room at Morgan
State University."
The online plea said, "In order to get him the
best defense possible, we need to secure an attorney who will take his
case and leave no stone unturned."
It also stated that a
fundraising event was scheduled at the International Christian Community
Church in Baltimore. The church was locked Thursday afternoon, and
nobody answered a knock on the door.
Pictures on Facebook taken
before this past semester show Kinyua with a wide grin at a laser tag
event and showing off a blue jacket for the National Society of Pershing
Rifles, a fraternal group for students in ROTC programs. Another shows
him in military fatigues, standing at attention.
More recent
posts to the social networking site reflected a shift. In the two most
recent posts, Kinyua uploaded "QR Codes," bar code images that, when
scanned with a smartphone, lead to a Web page. They both led to a
message about something called "Project Crack the Code," promising "more
information on survival of the human family."
Attempts to reach
Kinyua's family have been unsuccessful. A man who answered the phone
Wednesday night at a number listed for Antony and Beatrice Kinyua said
they were resting and that the family did not wish to speak to the news
media without an attorney present. On Thursday, no one answered the door
of the Joppa townhouse.
On tidy, well-kept Terrapin Terrace near Joppatowne High School,
Mary
Ellen Murray, who lived several houses down from the Kinyuas, said the
parents, Beatrice and Antony, were quiet, "wonderful" people.
"They would give you the shirt off their back," Murray said. "Nobody has anything bad to say about them."
Harry
Olson, the family's next-door neighbor and a physics professor at
Morgan who once taught Kinyua, said police squad cars and two
hazardous-materials vehicles were stationed on his street Wednesday, and
investigators brought "lots of stuff" in bags out of the home.
Investigators also took an entire toilet from the home and dug up a garden in the front of the house, Olson said.
"It's
shocking," another neighbor, Kenny Day, said of the allegations of
cannibalism. "You don't want to hear about that stuff, but you certainly
don't want to hear about it in your neighborhood.
"You can't be scared of stuff like that, though, because you can't run from crazy, and that's total crazy," Day added.
