Newlywed couple ‘dined on mutilated parts of wife’s rapist’, say police

A newlywed Indonesian couple have been arrested over claims they dined on the genitals of the woman’s suspected rapist after her husband allegedly murdered him, police said Tuesday. The victim’s body was found in a burnt-out van after a suspected revenge attack sparked by claims from the new wife she was raped a week before her wedding on Sumatra island. The husband, 30-year-old Rudi Efendi, has admitted murdering the man after discovering his wife was not a virgin on their wedding night in September and being told of the alleged rape, but insists he acted alone.

I was so outraged.

Rudi Efendi, the aggrieved husband

Police say that after murdering the man, Efendi took home parts of the victim, ordered his 20-year-old wife to cook them, and the pair then ate them together. The victim was a driver, whom the wife used to date. The husband is accused of carrying out the murder, while police believe the wife acted as an accomplice. The victim was found dead in early October in a burnt-out van in Tulangbawang district, Lampung province. Police later arrested Efendi and his wife.
