Massachusetts cannibal fed human flesh to neighbours at BBQs as they said meat had ‘peculiar taste’

A man from Massachusetts was accused of serving human flesh as the main course to a group of unsuspecting neighbours before the grim chef was apprehended by the police.

In 1999, convicted murderer and child predator Nathaniel Bar-Jonah hosted several ‘cook-outs’ at his house, serving up burgers, spaghetti, chili, meat pies, and casseroles to his guests.

However, unbeknownst to those enjoying the feast, their host had a dark past filled with sadistic offences and had developed an unnatural interest in the taste of human flesh since he was just six years old.

Born Nathaniel Benjamin Levi Bar-Jonah in 1957, in Worcester, Massachusetts , he was described as having an “insatiable appetite”, according to The Sun.

At the tender age of seven, Bar-Jonah would reportedly peel his scabs until they oozed blood and then suck on them. Despite receiving psychiatric care for his bizarre urges during his teenage years, by the 1970s, he escalated to abhorrent criminal acts including kidnapping and assaulting a 10 year old girl, often pretending to be a police officer to lure kids back to his property over the next two decades.
