TIL the Dutch Grand Pensionary/Prime Minister, Johan de Witt, was killed and partially cannibalized by rioters in 1672

Johan de Witt - Wikipedia

Allegedly this was the only time a prime minister was cannibalized...?

Also I saw mentions that some of his body remains are still on display at the Gevangenpoort museum in The Hague. If anyone can confirm it I'd appreciate it. Would love to visit (not to eat)
