Talisayan, Province of Misamis Oriental, Philippines - On Thursday, Llyod Bagtong, 21, was booked for murder by the Talisayan Municipal Police after witnesses reported that a woman had been killed and her head was decapitated. Police discovered the partially naked body of a female with the head missing and her arms tied at Purok 2, Barangay Punta Santiago, according to Talisayan Police Senior Inspector Maribeth Ramoga. Bagtong was later taken into custody and led police to his home at Barangay Casibole where the head was recovered and the cut off skull at a nearby hole.
Bagtong told police that he killed the woman at a nearby cemetery by striking her in the head with a metal object, then cut her head with a sanggot, a tool for cutting grass. Bagtong had the murder weapon on his waistband when he was arrested by police an hour after the woman's body was found. The woman's body was found around 5:00a.m. by local residents about 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) from Bagtong's home.
Bagtong also told police that he took the severed head home, he got hungry and cooked the brain with some rice and admitted to eating the unidentified woman's brain.
Witnesses told police that they saw Bagtong walking with the woman before he killed her and that she was speaking English, which triggered Bagtong to kill her, according to police.
Police are trying to identify the woman who is believed to be in her 30's, according to Inspector Ramoga.
