Maryland resident Alexander Kinyua reportedly confessed to police that he killed his a man who lived with his family for months by cutting him up with a knife, then eating his heart and parts of his brain.
The Baltimore Sun reports about the online life of Kinyua, an electrical engineering major at Morgan State University and long-time member of its ROTC program. He was “always in his own little world, preaching everywhere he went and talking about how he was writing a book,” said one acquaintance.
Kinyua’s online life included a self-published podcast, motivational videos on YouTube, lots of Facebook posts, a manic stream of internet comments directed at media figures and celebrities, and plans to self-publish an e-book.
[He] was obsessed with the military, according to the online postings, and left behind scrawls referencing cosmic teachings, feelings of oppression and end times. In recent months, he appeared to post across various platforms using the screen name “COREeye67,” according to various web sites reviewed by The Baltimore Sun.
(…)In the two most recent posts, Kinyua uploaded “QR Codes,” bar code images that, when scanned with a smartphone, lead to a Web page. They both led to a message about something called “Project Crack the Code,” promising “more information on survival of the human family.”
More in this Baltimore Sun story about his “disturbing online trail,” which also notes that his Facebook profile picture “is an image of Richard Ansdell’s 1861 painting, ‘The Hunted Slaves,’ showing two runaway slaves facing dogs that have been set on them.” Screengrab below. The painting now sits in the International Slavery Museum, in the UK.
This is Kinyua’s Twitter account. His YouTube account is now unavailable, and a Scribd link his accounts pointed to as the location of a forthcoming e-book is also now offline.
Kinyua was of Kenyan descent; his victim Ghanaian. Ghanaians in Maryland are holding a vigil for the victim this weekend.
