Brothers Farman and Arif referred to as the Bhakkar Cannibals were arrested in April accused of eating human flesh when a child’s head was discovered at their residence.
The two had been previously arrested for eating human corpses in the same village in 2011 and served two years in prison in a case that shocked Pakistan.
Since there is no specific offence of cannibalism in Pakistani law, the brothers had been charged under anti-terrorism laws for desecrating a human body.
