Human flesh 'on sale in London'

Police probe link between African magic and butchered remains of 5-year-old

Detectives hunting the killers behind the 'Torso in the Thames' child murder
are investigating the illegal bushmeat trade after allegations that human
flesh is being offered for sale in London.
Police believe that the murdered five-year-old, whom they have called Adam,
was the victim of a ritualistic killing linked to a West African form of
voodoo-like religion. Officers suspect that gangs illegally importing exotic
meat, such as chimpanzee and bush rat from West Africa, are involved in
trading in substances used in African witchcraft that may include human body
parts.
Detectives from Operation Swalcliffe, which is investigating Adam's death,
joined a raid on a north London shop last month by environmental health
officers after a tip-off that human body parts were being sold. The officers
seized two tonnes of unfit meat, including a crocodile head, used in
ritualistic dishes to increase sexual stamina in men. They also found rat
faeces, which had been removed from rats' intestines and prepared as a
delicacy for possible use in a ritual.
The trade in importing bushmeat to Britain has boomed in recent years, but
this was the first time evidence has been found linking it to witchcraft
ceremonies. While police found no obvious traces of human flesh, packages of
unidentifiable meat and ribs wrapped in plastic bags and stored in a
backroom have been sent for DNA testing.
Clive Lawrence, Heathrow airport's meat transport director, who was on the
raid, is convinced that human flesh is finding its way into the UK as part
of the bushmeat. He believes that the trade is also linked to criminal gangs
involved in people trafficking and drug smuggling.
'The intelligence we are receiving suggests human flesh is coming into this
country," he said. 'We are dealing with some very nasty people.'
Experts believe African witchcraft rituals are on the increase in Britain.
Professor Hendrick Scholtz, a South African expert in witchcraft and an
adviser on Operation Swalcliffe, said: 'As these communities grow, elements
of African culture will be inevitably transported to Britain.'
In the past year police have discovered seven incidences of West Africans
conducting religious rituals on the banks of the Thames. They usually
involve lighting candles and writing on white sheets that are then thrown
them into the water. Early in their investigations, police thought seven
half-burnt candles wrapped in a sheet near Battersea Power Station could
hold the key to the murder. The name 'Adekoyejo Fola Adoye' was written on
the sheet and carved in the candles.
However, detectives found that Adoye lived in New York and his London-based
parents had performed a ceremony to celebrate the fact he was not killed in
the 11 September terrorist attacks. Nevertheless, the revelation is thought
to have surprised police who had been unaware such rituals had been taking
place in public in the capital.
The use of human flesh is a taboo subject in many African communities, which
stress that traditional culture abhors such acts. Scholtz said it is used
when a normal animal sacrifice is considered insufficient. Human flesh is
also typically used when a group of people is trying to achieve a common
goal.
The possible uses of such body parts is varied: skin from a stomach can be
used to cause pain to enemies, while fingernails and toenails are used in
poisons. Eyebrows, hair and noses are often used in curses. Particularly
strong magic is believed to reside in a person's genitalia. Breasts and
genitalia from both sexes are used in love potions.
Police believe that Adam was brought to Britain as a slave and sacrificed in
a ritual intended to bring good luck to his killers.
'There is an ongoing search for Adam's head and limbs and there is evidence
to suggest a link between those who are involved and the trade in illegal
animal parts and meat products,' said a spokesman for Operation Swalcliffe.
Privately, detectives believe Adam's arms, legs and skull have been kept as
magical trophies. Two officers are in Nigeria trying to find his parents
after DNA testing showed he was born there. They believe his death may be
linked to an extreme element from the Yoruba people, a tribe with
voodoo-like rituals.
