‘Possessed’ murder suspect ate victim’s eye, ear after killing him near Las Vegas Strip: report

A suspected murderer is accused of killing another man at a bus stop near the Las Vegas strip and then eating parts of his face, according to police.

The Las Vegas police department received a report about a man who tackled another man to the ground around 5 a.m. Sunday morning on Las Vegas Boulevard near Charleston Boulevard, according to arrest documents obtained by 8NewsNow.

Roughly 45 minutes later, cops received a call from a witness who said a man was on top of another man at a bus stop “eating” his face.

When police arrived at the scene, they found 29-year-old Colin Czech kneeling next to the victim with “biological matter in his hair, mouth and on his clothing,” documents said. 

Czech told cops that the man had attacked him.

The victim, later identified as Kenneth Brown, was taken to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Brown was missing an eye and an eye and had a large gash in part of his head, according to documents.

Czech, who is homeless, “was going in and out of consciousness” while in police custody, according to charging documents. 

He admitted to using his teeth to “to eat [the man’s] eyeballs and ears,” documents said.

He told police he had been awake “for five days straight” because something was “possessing him.”

Czech is charged with murder. He was still hospitalized during his scheduled appearance at Las Vegas Justice Court on Monday.

His next court date is scheduled for Wednesday at 8:30 a.m.
