A Chinese man has been arrested after he allegedly killed a boy and ate part of his brain in a failed attempt to cure his epilepsy.

Wang Choaxu, 29, allegedly believed a myth that eating a child's brain can cure people of fits, the Sun reported.

Li Xuetang, 11, disappeared from his village late at night before being found several hours later in a grain field 5km away.

According to reports the top of the boy's head had been peeled back with a part of his brain missing.

Choaxu allegedly told police he believed he could cure his epilepsy if he ate the brain with earthworms and ants.

He is also accused of killing a three-year-old girl who was found dead on the same day in a public toilet with a knife cut to her head.
