If you mention Sumanto here in Indonesia, then, almost everybody will associate that name with the notorious Sumanto that shocked Indonesia with his weird deed-eating a human corpse!


A few years ago Sumanto, a native of Purbalingga, a small town in Central Java, dug out a fresh-burried body of an old lady and ate it. He said that he did it because he wanted to get supernatural powers.

After that he was sentenced to jail by the local court.

During his times in jail, Sumanto was behaving like any other normal man, infact he has had a good behaviour so that the government decided to release him this year. "He was behaving nicely and infact he was quite active", Said the Warden. "He was good in catching pest around here such as rats, cockroaches and cicak ( small lizards that crawl on the walls). But we made sure that he didn't eat them. We told him that if he do that he will get punishment".

He was also giving good responses when answering questions from a reporter about his realese. But, when the reporter ask him wheather his going to eat corpses again when he's free, he looked tense, upset and started to clinch his teeth-the reporter ask him no more question.

But the future doesn't look so bright for him. He said that he would rather spent the rest of his life inside prison rather than to live out here. He had friends and free meals. His family rejected him if he should go back to his village.

He was confuse of what he would do when he is released. He had no job and nobody. But some people really had an interesting idea. They offered him a job to work as a debt collector.
