Award-Winning Gay Kills, Cooks and Eats Friend

(Leeds, England) A 35-year-old former Mr. Gay UK contest winner, Anthony Morley, has been arrested for the murder of his friend, 33-year-old Damian Oldfield.

Police were alerted after Morley, covered with blood, entered a retail shop and announced, "I am the murderer, call the police."

When police discovered the body of Damian Oldfield, 33, at a terraced house in Harehills, Leeds, they are said to have found part of his right leg had been carved up and the flesh diced and cooked on a kitchen worktop. It is thought tests showed the flesh was human.

A police source told a newspaper: "It appears it was being prepared for cooking."

They are now considering the possibility that some of the flesh was also eaten.

Police believe Mr Oldfield, an advertising executive for gay lifestyle magazine Bent, was stabbed to death on Wednesday or Thursday of last week.

Morley appeared in court last week where he was charged with murder and remanded to custody. He has an appearance before Leeds magistrates scheduled for tomorrow.

Morley became a minor celebrity in 1993 when he won the Mr. Gay UK contest at the age of 20. At the time, he was a people-pleasing costumier who liked body-building and dancing. He reportedly beat stiff competition from a score of other finalists to win the title.
