Even more Russian Cannibalism

A cannibal who killed and ate parts of his mother had his sentence reduced by a judge who said 'he needed to eat'.

Sergey Gavrilov secured reduced time in jail after confessing: 'I did not like the meat very much. It was too fatty. But I was so hungry, I had to eat it.' The 27-year-old was given a lenient prison sentence because the judge said he was starving and needed to eat after spending all his money on vodka and gambling machines.

A 27-year-old Russian woman is under arrest in Russia for axing a female victim to death before cooking and eating her in the presence of her seven year old son. Following her arrest, 27-year old Olesya Mostovschikova told Irkutsk police that the murder occurred when she quarreled with the victim, 32-year-old Tatiana Romanchuk during a drinking session. She then grabbed an axe and struck the victim numerous times on her head and body. During the confession, Mostovschikova stated that 'I cut off her ears, gouged out one eye, cut off an arm, and a hand. I took the hand, arm and eye and cooked these body parts in the oven.' Her son witnessed the killing and cannibalism.
