62-year-old William Provost, 51-year-old Dennis Ratcliff, and 36-year-old Michael Dore are accused of eating people for medicinal purposes

According to the Miami Gazette, police found three men who had been practicing ritual cannibalism to self-treat diabetes and depression. It appears they have been doing this for some time, targeting homeless people who would not be easily missed.
