London, Oct 27 (IANS): A New York policeman is accused of plotting to kidnap, rape, cook and eat victims on his list, The Independent reported Friday.

Until this week, Gilberto Valle, 28, was just another New York cop, who lived in suburban Queens with his wife and young child. He?d been with the force for six years.

A complaint filed in a New York city court alleges that Valle was engineering a depraved plot to kidnap, rape, cook and eat a succession of unsuspecting women.

?I love that she is asleep right now not having a clue of what we have planned,? he is accused of telling an associate in one instance, adding: ?She does look tasty, doesn?t she??

Authorities first caught wind of the plans when Valle?s wife reportedly stumbled upon incriminating records on his computer.

She is said to have alerted the FBI last month, setting off an investigation that resulted in the cop?s detention Thursday, according to the newspaper.
