Police in Richmond, California say they caught a 37-year-old man in the act of cannibalizing his own grandmother.
KGO reported: Police received a report around 2:10 p.m. Monday of a woman on the ground bleeding and a man standing near her at a residence on the 1200 block of Club Court, according to Richmond police spokesman Sgt. Aaron Pomeroy.
Officers arrived at the residence to find 37-year-old Dwayne Wallick standing over 90-year-old Ruby Wallick, his grandmother, and digging in her flesh.
Officers used a Taser stun gun to partially subdue Dwayne Wallick before a physical altercation was required to handcuff him. Paramedics declared Ruby Wallick dead at the scene.
The exact cause of death of the woman was not revealed as an autopsy is pending.
Investigators believe drug use may have played a role in the crime.
