It was said that Wang Chaoxu, of Qixian village in Yunnan, southwest China, believed an old wives' tale that eating a child's brain could cure fits.
Police said the boy, Li Xuetang, was found buried nearly 5km away in a grain field in a neighbouring village.

The top of his head was peeled back and part of his brain removed.
Wang Chaoxu was arrested and told police he believed eating the brain with earthworms and ants would cure his illness.
Wang said he was married to a nurse, but she left him because his illness meant he was unable to work.

I think there's more wrong with him than just epilepsy...
