MANILA, Philippines (AP) -- Four members of a family have been arrested and charged with murder for allegedly killing and eating a relative during a wedding reception -- and serving his flesh to unwitting party guests, police have said.

At the July 17 wedding of his daughter, Eladio Baule got angry with his cousin Benjie Ganay who tripped and accidentally touched the bride's bottom, said Senior Police Inspector Perla Bacuel, at Narra town in Palawan province, southwest of Manila.

A few hours later, Baule, his son Gerald, another cousin Junnie Buyot and a nephew, Sabtuari Pique, allegedly confronted Ganay, then drove him to a secluded place where they stabbed him to death, Bacuel said.

Buyot, who surrendered to police and is acting as a witness, told police they then roasted Ganay's body using coconut leaves and kerosene, Bacuel said.

Baule senior later forced Buyot to take a bite of Ganay's flesh, which he claims he threw up but was then forced at knifepoint to swallow, Bacuel said.

Buyot told police that the group returned to the party and served some of Ganay's cooked remains to guests who were still celebrating the wedding, Bacuel said.

"It was perhaps due to their drunkenness. They probably didn't know what they were eating," he said.

Buyot reported the incident several days later to a local village leader who took him to police. Pique also surrendered, and Baule and his son were arrested.

Superintendent Rey Lanada, Palawan provincial police chief, said cannibalism would be treated as an aggravating circumstance in the crime.

You mean "The other, other white meat."

I hear in Kentucky it's not unusual for the groom to eat his cousin at the wedding, just not in the same way they do it in the Philippines.

So i read the topic, and the "mmmm Toasty!" catchline from Quiznos popped in my head.

What's wrong with me?

Whoops, my bad.

Also, since this is Filipino we're talking about, did they make lumpia out of them?

C'mon - I've been to many weddings where this general rule is accepted...you touch the bride's butt, you get roasted with coconut leaves and kerosene.

You people act all surprised.

Did you see that Leno where he had to account for making fun of Kentucky like that? The Governer of deez parts don't take kindly to that. We don't like outsiders insulting our wives, daughters, and sisters like that. She tends to take it the wrong way.
