British men held in connection with ‘Cannibal Cop’ probe

TWO Brits have been held in connection with a plot to rape and EAT women - after police were tipped off by US authorities investigating a so-called "Cannibal Cop".

A male nurse, understood to be Dale Bolinger, 57, and a second British man, 30, were arrested in Canterbury last week.
The arrests come after a US court heard how a Brit acted as a mentor to accused New York police officer Gilberto Valle and boasted how he had “eaten two women”.
Kent police said two men were held on suspicion of conspiracy offences, grooming and possession of child abuse images.

Valle, 28, is accused of planning to kill and eat his female friends as well as strangers he allegedly traced using the police computer.
A court in Manhattan has heard he swapped tips on how to cook human meat in online chats with fetishists.
The man, who used the online nicknames Moody Blues and Christopher Collins, was one of those arrested in Canterbury, according to a US report.
A shocked jury has heard graphic conversations between the two in which Moody Blues advised Valle to slow roast his victims, adding that "girl fat (is) great for roasting potatoes and Yorkshire pudding".
In another messsage read to the court, Moody Blues allegedly told Valle he wanted him to dine on the liver of one of his "targets" and have it "lightly cooked to keep it sweet and tender".
Valle is said to have responded: "I'm dying to taste some girl meat."

He was caught when his wife Kathleen Mangan-Valle, 27, read the chats on his laptop, including plans to put one friend in a suitcase, wheel her out of her building and murder her.
Valle denies plotting a real kidnap, claiming his online conversations were only fantasy.
A Kent Police spokesman last night confirmed officers have been investigating the alleged plot jointly with US federal agents.
The spokesman said: "We can confirm that two men, aged 57 and 30, from the Canterbury area were arrested on February 21 for conspiracy offences, grooming and possession of child abuse images.
"The two men are currently on police bail whilst enquiries continue.
"Kent Police has been in contact with US law enforcement agencies in relation to this investigation."
