An aspiring Mexican horror novelist has been arrested after police discovered his girlfriend's torso in his closet, a leg in the refrigerator and bones in a cereal box.
Jose Luis Calva told police he had boiled some of his girlfriend's flesh but that he hadn't eaten it, the spokesman said on condition of anonymity.
Calva told police he was a writer and poet - officers found the draft of a novel titled Cannibalistic Instincts, the spokesman said.
Investigators are trying to determine if chunks of fried meat found in a pan in the apartment were human, the spokesman said.
Police came to Calva's apartment on Monday after neighbours reported a fetid smell.
They discovered the dismembered body of his girlfriend Alejandra Galeana in a closet, the spokesman said.
A leg and pieces of an arm were in a refrigerator and there were bones inside a cereal box.
