In 1978 their was no internet.  No YouTube to post video’s of human flesh turned cuisine, no cannibal chatrooms to discuss dark fantasies, and no place for Andrei Chikatilo to confess.

For years, he remained silent while on a 12 year spree of murder, rape, and cannibalism.  At least 53 people (maybe more) died. 

His wife didn’t have a clue.  Nor did their two children.  On the surface, he was just another Soviet man.  He was educated, hardworking, average; he was a life-long member of the Communist Party.

His “death tools” were carried securely in a briefcase.  One after another, girls, boys, and women began to disappear.  While looking for the murderer (Chikatilo) police solved over 1,000 cases.  He was named the “Forest Strip Murderer”. 

After the police gathered enough info to make a capture, Chikatilo ‘blabbed’ rather quickly confessing all of the murders and motives.  He was executed in 1994 by a single gunshot to the back of the head.

(While researching this story, we discovered a lot of details that were granular and yes, very disturbing.  We have spared you of those details.  If you need more information on this, visit the NY Daily News website)

Horrified, the Chinese police found wine bottles with eyeballs inside as well as human flesh hanging inside of a mans home who was arrested under suspicious of murdering and eating more than 20 people.

Zhang Yongming was arrested a week or two before the horrible Florida incident and the news story emerged shortly after. 

According to The Standard in Hong Kong, the 56 year old man was believed to have eaten his victims, mostly young boys, and then sold their flesh to others.  He also fed them to his dog.

When the home owner approached him, the completely naked trespasser tried to attack him.  The home owner shot his gun twice shooting the intruder in the leg. 

Once the police arrived, the naked man tried to bite the homeowner, police, and hospital workers. 

The intruder was taken to the hopsital and refused to identify himself.  The police believe he may have been under the influence of drugs.

Katsumi tried to “bite his son to death” and was arrested.  He claimed that he was trying to rid his son of the snake that was haunting him.  Some reported that Katsumi was called in by his wife to rid their son of the snake possession.  He beat him through out the day until his body went limp and then called the hospital.

[Our entry about this incident last June]

Some time has passed and more have been unveiled to the media.

Alexander Kinyua (cannibal) attacked Joshua Ceasar with a baseball bat that was armored in barbwire and chains.  After hitting him on the head (so hard that he is now partially blind) he began to drag him down the hall with a knife in his hand.  His roommates heard Ceasar screaming and were able to stop Kinyua.  He ran off in to the woods.

Several days later, Kinyua turned himself in to police stating that he had killed a man and eaten part of his heart and brain.  The victim was Kujoe Bonsafo Agyei-Kodie, 37, a native of Ghana who had been staying with Kinyua’s family.  Months before the attack, Kinyua was suffering from paranoid schizophrenia and believed reptilian aliens were coming to destroy Earth.

Ceasar’s attorney spoke of the University and the ROTC knowing of Kinyua’s increasingly bizarre and aggressive behavior as well as his obsession with ”world cleansing, the end of the world, and violence”.

August 30, 2011, Murmansk Russia – The killer, only known as Ivan L., used a gay dating site to lure a 32 year old man back to his flat where he killed him by stabbing him several times.  After he was sure that the man was dead, he ate him.

He did not select a gay dating site due to a hatred toward this sexual orientation, but because he felt a gay man would be more discreet and less likely to tell others where he was going.  This would ensure that Ivan L. could continue to kill without being discovered.

The victims mother went to the police after she discovered that her son was missing and showed them the dating sites that he would frequent.  It was through his communications on the website that the police were led back to Ivan L. which ultimately ended in his capture.

Ivan was so proud of his culinary achievements, he created and posted several video’s on the web including – meatballs, sausage, and rib dishes.

Yes, this story is very disturbing but I want to point out that a source that was interviewed stated ‘nothing like this has happened in Murmansk for 20 years’.  You don’t say…………
