Russian cannibal who ate his mother given lighter sentence by judge who says 'he was starving, he needed to eat' | Mail Online

Wow, what an incredible story! Sick and laughable at the same time.

I am sorry that I missed this before. This is quite the extenuating circumstances.

I am surprised and maybe it was brought up in court, but why did he not just cut one of his own feet or a leg off and eat that or maybe one of his mum’s appendages for bar-B-Q? I mean he really didn't have to actually off the old girl. And what about the neighborhood dogs and cats? Did he try foraging outside the home before dining in? Did the judge take that into consideration?

I love this story! I can't believe more people weren't talking about it.

'I did not like the meat very much. It was too fatty.

Yeah well, that's what I always say about the leg meat.

Jeez, I can't believe a reduced sentence - shouldn't you get more time when it's your mom?
