French police suspect cannibalism after a man in southern France supposedly cut out a man's heart and tongue with the intentions of eating them. Nouilhan police arrested a twenty-six year old homeless man Thursday night. According to local news sources the man has been accused of breaking and entering into a ninety year old man's house and striking his skull with metal work equipment from the man's barn. The victim's body was found burned, with the heart and tongue cut out, which seemed as if they were cooked. 

When the authorities arrived to the scene of the crime, the old man's body was found calcinated, meaning the body was burned to dust. The bizarre part of the investigation was that the authorities also found cooked meant and white beans placed in a plate. 

While the twenty-six year old tried escaping the scene, he assaulted a man on a tractor, breaking his shoulder. He entered another home and got a hold of a shotgun before the resident was aware of his break in. Officers were unable to locate him during his efforts of running away. They arrested the man shortly before midnight of Thursday. 

During the process of the man's arrested he remained calm and passive. However after his statements, it was strongly believed to investigators that the man had intentions of consuming the heart and tongue of his first victim."It would seem he acted because of voices, messages that he was receiving and that were telling him to act in this way. Those are his first statements," local prosecutor Chantal Firmigier-Michel told the Agence France-Presse. The investigators are still digging into this case in order to prove the intentions of the murderer.
