Alexander Kinyua allegedly chopped Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie into pieces and ate his heart and brain, The Baltimore Sun reports. Six days before, on May 19, Kinyua was arrested for reportedly fracturing the skull and partially blinding a classmate with a baseball bat.

Critics are questioning how the university missed the signs that Kinyua was potentially dangerous.
