A cannibal caught eating a woman he beheaded has died after a police shot him in South Africa.
Aphiwe Mapekula, 23, collapsed in a hail of bullets with arm, leg and stomach injuries when police officers tried to arrest him at his home.
He is said to have ignored several warning shots as he continued to eat Thembisa Masumpa's raw flesh.
Officers finally opened fire on him when he attacked them with a knife, police said.
Mapekula is said to have slit 35-year-old Thembisa's throat and hacked off her head in Mount Frere, South Africa.
His horrified mum called cops after witnessing the gruesome slaughter.
But officers said he was tucking in to Thembisa's raw flesh by the time they turned up.
He then attacked them with a knife before being shot, said police Captain Edith Mjoko.
Mapekula's devastated mother said: 'I never raised a son like this one. I never imagined this.'
Police originally said Mapekula had dragged Thembisa from the street before butchering her.
But neighbours said she did odd jobs at his home and was washing in the back yard when he attacked her.
It is the second cannibal horror case to hit South Africa in three weeks.
Six men are in custody after a woman was reportedly raped, murdered and butchered before parts of her were eaten in Estcourt.
Police investigating the tribe of cannibal witch-doctors have found eight human ears in a cooking pot as it emerged villagers were coerced into eating flesh because it would make them bulletproof.
