A man who ate another man's flesh in the Central African Republic has told the BBC he was seeking "revenge" for the murder of family members.
The man, who calls himself "Mad Dog", was in a Christian mob who attacked a Muslim in the capital Bangui.
He said he had been "angry" because Muslims killed his pregnant wife, his-sister-in law and her baby.
At least 1,000 people have been killed since violence broke out in the Christian-majority country in December.
Tens of thousands have also been forced to flee their homes in the sectarian conflict.
However correspondents say fighting appears to have eased in Bangui after rival militiamen laid down their arms in a truce brokered by the French military.
'Magic' powers
"Mad Dog" told the BBC's Paul Wood he had seen his victim sitting on a minibus and decided to follow him.
More and more people joined him until he was at the head of a mob of some 20 youths, he said.
They forced the bus driver to stop and dragged the Muslim man out on the street, where he was beaten and stabbed before being set on fire.
Footage of the incident shows "Mad Dog" eating the man's leg, our correspondent says.
According to eyewitnesses, no-one tried to intervene.
Acts of cannibalism are rare in CAR, where sectarianism is a recent development, our correspondent says.
But many Christian fighters believe in magic and sorcery, he adds.
Some wear amulets containing the flesh of men they have killed because they believe it makes them invincible.
Background
Fuelled by ethnic rivalries, the conflict has also now become sectarian in nature as he installed himself as the first Muslim leader in the Christian-majority country.
This sparked months of bloody clashes between rival Muslim and Christian fighters, with communities pitted against each other.
A small regional peacekeeping force deployed to the country about a year ago was unable to stop the rebel takeover and subsequent chaos.
French troops have now arrived to disarm militias and the African Union is in the process of deploying a larger force.
