The case of
Raymundo Fonte devouring the intestines and other parts of his co worker
happened during the 1900. He was brought
in front of the US Military court where he confessed to the gruesome
murder.
The accounts
of the murder were published on December 11, 1901 on The Deseret News. According to the article Raymundo Fonte
discovered his co worker, Liberato Benliro sleeping in his boat. He was enraged to see him and killed the
sleeping man by bludgeoning him to death using an oar.
Raymundo
Fonte then cut his ears and nose and according to his confession cooked and ate
the part of his companion’s body. The
body of Liberato was later found floating in the stream with missing eyes,
ears, nose and intestines.
The court
sentenced him to death by hanging on Capiz Panay on the 13th of
December 1901. An Interesting fact, the
Capiz is believed up to this day that it is a place that is infested with
aswang (a local’s equivalent to vampire).
An “Aswang Festival” is held yearly in the province where everyone is
dressed up in a horrifying creature that can only be found on the local myth.
