A Swedish man has been charged after eating his wife’s lips. The professor attacked his wife to make sure she could never kiss another man. Swedish news site The Local reports the man wanted to give his wife ‘a life sentence’ of pain. His charge was downgraded from attempted murder to aggravated assault because he stayed with her until the ambulance arrived. The violent attack follows a spate of bizarre face-eating cases, which gained attention last month when a man was shot dead eating another man’s face. The phenomenon came to light in Florida when Rudy Eugene attacked a homeless man, and has been linked to the use of the street drug “bath salts”.
