Man kills girl, eats her liver and heart

BAUANG, La Union – A drug-crazed man who ripped open the chest of a 14-year-old girl with a scythe and ate her heart and liver is now in jail here after he was nabbed Aug. 3 by policemen.

Bauang police headed by Supt. Manuel Castro, said that day, the victim, identified as Catherine Madriaga, resident of Barangay Pugo, Bauang, went to the house of her cousin who would be her companion in attending mass at 8 a.m.

Witnesses said they were later horrified to see Rommel Jandoc, 29, resident of Pugo, all bloodied and eating the internal organs of Catherine.


Catherine’s aunt, Gloria de Guzman, 44, said she was in their house when she heard news that someone was stabbed with a scythe.

De Guzman ran towards the crime scene and was shocked to see that the victim was her niece, her chest exposed with a big wound and Jandoc’s hands covered with blood as he was eating the internal organs of her niece.

Informed of the incident, police later arrested Jandoc and incarcerated him at the municipal jail. Jandoc reportedly had the victim’s heart in his pocket when arrested.
