Tyree Smith, who had spent 10 years in a psychiatric hospital after killing a homeless man and then eating his brain and eyeballs in December 2011, was recently released by authorities, reports the Connecticut Post.

Smith’s cousin, Nicole Rabb, testified during a trial in July 2013 that she saw Smith with blood on his pants and carrying chopsticks and a bloody axe one day after Smith talked to her about Greek gods and his desire to get blood, the outlet reported.

Smith told Rabb he killed a man with the axe and ate his brain and eyeballs while drinking alcohol at a cemetery, adding that he wanted to eat more people. Officials later found body parts of the victim, Angel Gonzalez, in the abandoned apartment where Smith used to live during childhood, along with the axe and an empty alcohol bottle in a nearby stream bed.
