    Saturday 14th November, 2009  


    A Russian investigation unit based in Perm said the victim was attacked with a hammer and knife.
    Three homeless Russian men have been charged with murder after they killed a 25-year-old man known to them and sold his body to be used for kababs and meat pies.

    The men also used parts of the body for food for themselves.

    The murder took place in Perm, which is located on the banks of the Kama River, in the European section of Russia close to the Ural Mountains, around 1,000 miles east of Moscow.

    A Russian investigation unit based in Perm said the victim was attacked with a hammer and knife. He was repeatedly stabbed after he was beaten.

    "After the crime was carried out, the corpse was dismembered and partly used for food, and also sold to a kiosk that sold kababs and meat pies," the Perm investigators said in a statement.

    Time

    Yep, it is all over for this world. Once again we see cannibalism around the globe. Even in the so called modern countries. How much more can God let go on. Time to close the book on planet Earth.

    Time

    World without love.. Cannibalism comes in many forms. There are many examples of people eating each others dignity, possessions and spirit.. The question is how do we help and feed each other and the most important food is our spiritual food. Spiritual food gives us purpose, meaning and hope.. With Spiritual food we have the inspiration and vision to make this a better world, with our spiritual food happiness and joy will return to our lives..

    Very Sad

    There is no way this story should have ever been put on the internet. No matter what country this happened in. This is very tragic and sad. This story is hard to Stomach. The people who did this have mental illness and the public should be protected. I am sorry for the Russian People.

    Don’t be sorry for the Russian People - they are not the first, or last: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannibalism

    UMMM Nasty!

    The prions are eating our brains!!! Just read girliejihads posts and you will know his brain is full of holes! Scrapie, the first TSE, began killing sheep in Europe and Great Britain in the 1700s. In the 1920s, doctors Creutzfeldt and Jakob began exploring a rare, fatal human brain disease that ripped holes in the brain. In the 1960s, another version of this disease showed up in a New Guinea tribe that ritually ate deceased relatives. Until the 1980s, the TSEs remained an obscure problem, but a baffling one. Although they were infectious, the cause of the disease could slip through a filter that would trap bacteria. That pointed the finger at a virus — but the agent survived treatments that kill all viruses.

    do russian kiosks buy meat from just anybody?

    so if 3 homeless guys (in bloodied clothing, i’m betting) come up to a russian kiosk worker w/ handfuls or a bag of meat (probably at a 'discounted' price), the worker will buy it just like that? cuz it was a bargain? really? is that normal? so the meat could have been anything from human to vultures to rodent and the guy would buy it so long as the customers cant tell the difference once it’s in a meat pie? really? is that part of the culture?
