A driver named Rudi was found dead in the village of Penumangan Lama in the Tulangbawang district of West Lampung on October 4th, his charred body discovered inside of his burnt-out car. The full shocking tale of how he died was finally revealed yesterday when police arrested a married couple in connection with his murder.

The Tulangbawang Police said that Rudi was killed by another man named Rudi (full name Rudi Efendi). They said Efendi killed the other Rudi because the driver had supposedly raped Efendi’s wife, Nuriah.
Lampung Police Chief Brigadier General Edward Syah Pernong said the couple killed Rudi and also set fire to the victim’s car.
Despite being burnt, it was clear to police that the victim’s body had been mutilated, with a wound on his ear, bruises on his head and, most shockingly, his genitals had been cut off.
After some investigation, police eventually identified Efendi and Nuriah as suspects in Rudi’s murder.
Police say that after he was arrested, Efendi confessed to murdering Rudi and then cutting off his genitals. After the grim deed was done, he took Rudi’s penis home with him where he fried it.
“Then I ate his ‘vital tool’,” Efendi said, as quoted by Kompas.
Efendi said the cannibalistic act was a form of medicine. “I ate it to heal my heart ache towards the victim,” he said.
On their first night after getting married, Efendi said he found out that Nuriah was not a virgin. When he asked her to explain, she said that she had been raped by Rudi, whom she had previously dated, a week before their wedding.
After hearing that, Efendi plotted Rudi’s murder. He asked Nuriah make an appointment to meet the victim in Penumangan Lama Village. Efendi then showed up instead and killed Rudi by stabbing him with a sharp instrument.He then mutilated the body, set the car on fire and went home to eat his unthinkable meal.
Despite his wife being arrested, Efendi insisted Nuriah was not involved in the killing and should not be held responsible for his crime.
“I did it alone. My wife was not involved,” he said.
