I'm fluent in Dutch and at no point in the supplied link is there any reference to eating anything.
Attempted murder, torture, court, death, body parts being sold, heart being cut out and displayed for years, yes .. eating, not so much.

There is actually a whole article on their murder, quite extensively detailing the days leading up to their death as the days that follow it (not in English though): https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moord_op_de_gebroeders_De_Witt
To me, the most disturbing part is the next sentence:
How the fuck do you eat people’s liver in a frenzy but disciplinedly?? That makes no sense, right? Please tell me it’s not possible.
I think most of it was not eaten.

Some of it is still in a museum.
