Connecticut cannibal killer given conditional release after 2011 murder in which he ate victim's brain, eye

An institutionalized man who confessed to the 2011 killing of a homeless man in Connecticut in which he also ate the victim’s body parts in a cemetery was granted a conditional release.

Tyree Smith was granted a conditional release by the Nutmeg State’s Psychiatric Security Review Board on Friday, allowing him to leave Connecticut Valley Hospital in Middletown, although he will remain under supervision and will continue to receive mental health services, according to WFSB.

Smith’s doctor said the cannibal killer has been rehabilitated and is taking medications to help with psychosis and voices in his head, the outlet reported.

“To quote the director there, he is a joy. He is considered a support to the other people there,” forensic psychiatrist Caren Teitelbaum said. “Once he was stable, he was a really calming presence for other patients.”

“How do we really know he’s not going to do this again?” Frazier asked at the hearing on Friday, according to CTPost. “He had no remorse for killing Angel.”

“His grandkids are scared. His daughter is scared she couldn’t come today, her sugar dropped to 52,” she said, according to WFSB.

A diagnosed schizophrenic, Smith will first receive day passes but will be confined to the hospital’s grounds. As he makes progress, he will receive additional freedoms, such as supervised off-site visits.
