MANILA, Philippines -- A mentally ill man hacked to death his parents and cooked the severed head of his father early Tuesday in Capiz province, police said.
Village official Federico dela Vega and his wife Edita were hammered and hacked by their 25-year-old son Fernan inside their home in the village of Linampungan, Pontevedra town at around 7 a.m., a police report said.
Federico was beheaded and his severed head cooked by his mentally deranged son, police said.
He even seasoned the cut head with salt and other seasonings, police said.
Police found the body of Edita lying inside their home early morning, her head broken, while Federicos headless body was found on the kitchen floor.
After the neighbors were alerted of the incident, they reportedly mobbed Fernan, and police had to intervene, bringing the suspect into their custody.
Recovered from the scene were a 17-inch axe, a 12-inch knife, and a 20-inch bolo.
