Student ‘ate uni worker’s body parts after chopping her head off’

A university student killed a member of staff with an axe and ‘ate some of her body parts’ after launching an attack on campus with an axe.

The attacker, reportedly a third-year law student, entered the auditorium of Warsaw University in Poland with the weapon before killing an administrator.

A security guard was injured and taken to hospital in a critical condition.

The attacker cut off the woman’s head and allegedly ate her body parts and licked blood from the weapon, witnesses told Polish TV station Telewizja Republika.

Last week a woman’s severed head and an axe were also found on the campus.

Gazeta Wyborcza daily reported that the attacker was a third-year law student.
