MOSCOW — Three homeless men ate parts of a 25-year-old man they had butchered and sold other bits of the corpse to a kebab restaurant, Russian police allege.
Suspicions were raised when dismembered parts of a body were found near a bus stop in the outskirts of the Russian city of Perm, 720 miles east of Moscow.
The homeless men, who already had criminal records, were arrested on suspicion of setting upon a foe with knives and a hammer before chopping up his corpse to eat, local investigators said.
“After carrying out the crime, the corpse was divided up: Part was eaten and part was also sold to a kiosk selling kebabs and pies,” the prosecutor-general’s main investigative unit for the Perm region said Friday.
It was not immediately clear if any of the corpse had been sold to customers.
