PURCELL, Okla. (AP) — A grocery store stocker was arraigned Monday on first-degree murder charges in the killing of a 10-year-old girl in what authorities said was an elaborate plan to eat human flesh.
Kevin Ray Underwood appeared before McClain County Judge Gary D. Barger, who entered a not guilty plea for Underwood.
Underwood, led into court with his hands and feet shackled, spoke softly as he told the judge he needed a public defender.

Police Chief David Tompkins said investigators believe Underwood sexually assaulted the girl after he killed her and planned to eat the corpse.
