A 44-year old Bruce Franklin has been arrested after he confessed to killing his wife and eating her flesh while he was stuck with her in an elevator.

Mr Franklin immediately confessed that he had reluctantly killed her and eaten almost 12 lbs of her flesh, saying it was necessary to his survival.
