A former “Mr. Gay UK” slit his lovers’ throat and marinated his chopped flesh after having a sexual encounter with him.
Professional chef Anthony Morley, 35, murdered his gay lover Damien Oldfield. Morley cut pieces of flesh from his victim’s thigh and cooked them in herbs and spices. He chewed a piece of Oldfield’s seasoned flesh before tossing it in the kitchen trash. A drunk and bloody Morley then walked into a nearby restaurant and said, “I have killed someone, call the police.”
When police arrived at the scene, they found Oldfield’s naked body on Morley’s bedroom floor. Oldfield had been attacked from behind, stabbed 20 times and had his throat cut.
Morley later told police that Oldfield had tried to rape him. “I know what I have done is wrong,” Morley said, “but at least he won’t be able to do it again,” referring to the alleged rape attempt. Morley claims he acted in self-defense.

An aspiring chef in England died after eating red-hot chili sauce in a competition with a friend.
Andrew Lee, 33, challenged his girlfriend’s brother to see who could eat the hottest sauce. Lee prepared a tomato sauce with red chilies grown on his father’s farm. Lee ate the sauce and immediately suffered intense discomfort and itching. He was found dead the next morning and possibly suffered a heart attack.
The coroner is conducting toxicology tests to see if Lee died from the hot sauce. Lee was in perfect health and had just passed a medical exam at work. He was a good cook and often prepared meals for his family.
Lee climbed into be around 2:30 am and was itching all over his body. His girlfriend scratched his back until he fell asleep. When she awoke, Lee was dead.
A typo in a cake recipe in a Swedish food magazine poisoned four people and sent them to the hospital. Publishers recalled all 10,000 copies of their Matmagasinet food magazine, sent a warning letter to its 50,000 subscribers, and placed a leaflet in store copies.
"There was a mistake in a recipe for apple cake. Instead of calling for two pinches of nutmeg it said 20 nutmeg nuts were needed," said Matmagasinet’s Chief Editor Ulla Cocke. "At first we thought this would be enough, because we didn’t really think anyone would bake or eat this cake, since so much nutmeg would give it a horrible, bitter taste, and because it is simply not that easy to get hold of that much nutmeg," Cocke said. But when the publishers discovered that people had actually eaten and been poisoned by the cake, they immediately recalled all copies of the magazine issue.
Four adults ate one cake made from this recipe and experienced severe dizziness and headaches, but all are expected to recover.
"We publish 1,200 recipes each year, and of course there have been times when they’ve had a bit too much butter or too little flour, but we have never experienced anything like this before," Cocke told AFP.
