An American kills three people and cooks the heart of one of his victims with potatoes

A man suspected of killing three people in Oklahoma, southern USA, admitted that he had cut the heart of one of his victims and “cooked him with potatoes,” according to US media.

Lawrence Paul Anderson, a 42-year-old convict, who previously said he suffers from bipolar disorder, admitted that he killed his uncle, the daughter of the latter and one of their neighbors, and injured his uncle’s wife on February 9 in Chickasha, near Oklahoma City, according to a police statement.

Anderson first killed neighbor Andrea Lynn Blankenship, 41, and cut her heart before heading to his uncle Leon Bay, 67, to cook and present to him, his wife and their daughter during a visit during the day, according to The Oklahoman newspaper and a local TV channel.

The search warrant request submitted by the police to the judiciary stated that the suspect “brought the heart and cooked it with potatoes to present to the family to release the monsters that inhabit it, according to the newspaper.”

And after the family refused to eat the heart, Anderson stabbed them, killing his uncle and wounding the latter’s wife and their daughter, but the latter soon died in the ambulance from her injury.

Investigators are trying to determine whether the suspect was under the influence of drugs when executing his crime, while the motives have not yet been determined.

Anderson had been living with his uncle and the latter’s wife when the facts happened, since the Oklahoma governor in June 2020 reduced his last prison sentence.

This is not the first conviction for Anderson, as he was previously convicted in 2006 for drug possession, and in 2012 for distributing drugs, and he was sentenced in 2017 to 20 years in prison for possession of drugs and firearms, and during his last trial, he assured the judge that he was being treated for a case of bipolar disorder.
