A suspected killer cannibal walked into a police station and handed over body parts saying: "I'm tired of eating human flesh."
The man, described by local media in South Africa as a 'traditional healer', allegedly raped, killed and butchered a women with several others.
He gave police a human leg and hand as he confessed to the grisly crime in the town of Estcourt.
He then led police to a home where they found more remains.
Two more men were arrested on suspicion of murder in the area.
And a fourth faces charges of possessing human flesh and tissues.

Crowds of locals gathered outside the town’s magistrates court as the gang aged 22, 29, 31 and 32, appeared in court.
They were all remanded in custody and are due to reappear next week.
Councillor Mthembeni Majola said it is feared there could be more bodies.
"It cannot only be one," he said.
"When the police were following this matter they discovered eight ears in a pot where one man was staying.
"That means there is much more to this.”
Police spokeswoman Captain Charmaine Struwig said: "Three of the suspects face charges of murder and charges relating to the possession of human organs and tissue.
“A fourth suspect faces charges relating to the possession of human organs and tissue.
"The three suspects are alleged to have murdered a woman and then cut her body up.
"Allegations are that some consumed some of her flesh while some of her body parts were shared with the fourth suspect in Amangwe.
"Human remains were found at one crime scene in Estcourt and another crime scene at Amangwe.
"At this time only one person is suspected of having been killed and her identity is as yet unknown."
Another spokeswoman, Colonel Thembeka Mbhele, said the shocking crime unravelled on Friday night when the man allegedly confessed.
She said: "When he was questioned, he produced part of a human leg and a hand.
"Further investigation led police to a house where they were met with a foul smell, and more human remains were found.
"A second suspect was also arrested in Estcourt and a third in the Amangwe area.
"More body parts were found.
"It is alleged the suspects raped, killed and cut up the body of a woman, which they then consumed.”
