Alleged cannibal arrested while feasting on victim?s liver
Moscow police have detained a man whom they believe killed, butchered and partially ate one of his acquaintances. Severed parts of the victim`s body have been discovered in various parts of the city since early May.
During the search at the Nikolay Shadrin`s apartment in Moscow`s west, police discovered a human liver stored in the refrigerator. The suspect himself was eating a dish cooked from it at the moment of his arrest, police spokesman Aleksey Savelyev told the media.
"The detainee told the police that he dismembered his friend`s body, kept parts of it and disposed of the rest of it, throwing some parts into the river," the source said.
The first evidence of the brutal crime was discovered on May 4 in a lake, where a left human arm without hand was found. Over the next two weeks, police discovered two feet, a right arm, a hand with one finger missing and, finally, a head.
The victim was identified as Ilya Egorov and the date of his death was May 2, Investigative Committee spokesman Vladimir Markin. Police closed in on the alleged killer after checking Egorov`s contacts.
The suspect has a medical record, indicating substance abuse and mental problems. He has also served several prison terms.
