Officials in China have a cannibal in custody after they say he admitted to kidnapping and killing an 11-year-old boy before eating his brain.

Wang Chaoxu, of Qixian village, in Yunnan, south west China was arrested Wednesday after police found the body of little Li Xuetang buried in grain field.

When they found the victim his head was “peeled back” and part of his brain had been removed.

The boy’s mother Yu Chaohu tells The Sun, that she became worried when the boy didn’t come home as expected and asked the village for help finding him.

“It was getting dark, but I couldn’t find my son anywhere in the village. I even asked the village head to broadcast on the radio to ask my son to come back home for dinner.”

Chaouhu has not been allowed to see her son’s body because it is too badly damaged.

When officials arrested the sick man he told them that he believed eating the brain with earthworms and ants would cure his illness, a type of epilepsy.

Police are also looking to see if Chaoxu is responsible for the death of 3-year-old girl found the same day in a public restroom with her head split open.

SMH, there are some sick, sick people in this world!!!!!!

Our condolences to the family of Li Xuetang.
