He cut up the body and boiled the body parts in herbs.
Want not, waste not is what we always say.
Carlos Machuca, a 56-year-old tamale-maker was arrested at his home in Morelia after the police received an anonymous phone call on Tuesday.
When the police arrived at Mr. Tamale's house, they found a mutilated corpse of a man in the living room. They also found some body parts simmering in saucepans on the stove.
A spokeswoman for Michoacan state prosecutors said: "We saw the flesh and the tamales, and our first impression was that he was making tamales with the flesh of the deceased..."
It seemed like Carlos was trying to dispose of the body by maybe even selling the tamales to customers.
For those of you who don't know, Tamales is a Mexican dish made of chopped meat and crushed peppers, highly seasoned, wrapped in cornhusks spread with masa, and steamed.
