A former 'Mr Gay UK' has been charged with murdering a man, amid fears that part of the victim's leg was chopped up and chunks of it eaten.
When police discovered the body of Damian Oldfield, 33, at a terraced house in Harehills, Leeds, they are said to have found part of his right leg had been carved up and the flesh diced and cooked on a kitchen worktop. It is thought tests showed the flesh was human.
A police source told a newspaper: "It appears it was being prepared for cooking."
They are now considering the possibility that some of the flesh was also eaten.
Police believe Mr Oldfield, an advertising executive for gay lifestyle magazine Bent, was stabbed to death on Wednesday or Thursday of last week.
A spokesman for West Yorkshire Police said: "Police were called to Bexley Place in Harehills at 2.30am on Thursday, April 24.
"On arrival officers discovered the body of a 33 year old man.
"A 35-year-old man has been charged with murder."
The force would not confirm any other information about the killing.
Anthony Morley, 35, from Doncaster - who won the Mr Gay UK competition in 1993 aged 20 - appeared in court earlier this week charged with Mr Oldfield's murder. He has been remanded in custody. He is due to appear before magistrates in Leeds again on Monday, when it is expected the case will be sent to crown court.
