2 Men Jailed For EATING Teenage Girl in Russia: We 'Were Hungry'

ST. PETERSBURG — A Russian court has convicted two men of murdering and eating a 16-year-old schoolgirl in January.

The St. Petersburg City Court says it sentenced a 21-year-old Goth-rock musician to 19 years in a maximum-security prison.

It says his 20-year-old accomplice was sentenced to 18 years in a maximum-security prison.

The court says in a statement released Wednesday that the musician lured his victim to his apartment building, where he and his friend drowned her in a bathtub and cooked parts of her body in an oven.

The men pleaded not guilty, and in earlier testimony they said they had killed the woman because they "were hungry."

Would I appear too cynical if I think that hunger was not the main driving force behind this murder, after all this is not WWII and the seige of Leningrad is over, for heavens sake, they've even change the city's back to St Petersburg.

The ol' Commie bread lines are looking better the further we get from 1991.

Sounds like freakish sexual-masochist elements are being covered up here. I want 2 know what parts were eaten? What was done with the remainder of the child's body? Too much was not addressed but 18 years and 19 years is insufficient 4 the crime. Life in prison would have been appropriate with no possibility of parole!

Of course you want to know all that, you fall into the same category as fame-obsessed idiots. It is not an issue what part they ate first or why they did it, and knowing is only to satisfy your own morbid curiosity. People who are truly horrified at something realize the crime speaks for itself and the details and motives are a waste of time.

I guess there's no such thing as "food stamps" in Russia huh?

Despicable. I can't help believe there's more to this story than this! These men are some perverts with sa.tanic leanings for sure.

Most Satanists don't believe in sacrifice or even Satan for that matter but idea of Satan. I don't really care but I wouldn't out any labels on these guys instead of either evil or mentally ill.

But with this stuff in Russia, people (I'm talking about others) complain about American crime and society?

I will bet they both come from Orthodox Christian homes where they teach you of Satan. No Christianity=no satanists

LOL now if any gentleman in prison asks if he may push his stool in, it will be for a woman.

That can't be the whole story. They were eating her to get rid of evidence.

But you still took the time to read it and comment, and while your comment is only slightly hypocritical too many others are mostly childish quips laced with nervousness laughter.
Maybe you can ask HP to start a "Train-wreck" section. News you so horrible you can't keep your eyes off it.

But the recent news is that Europeans are now proven to have those caveman Neanderthal genes in them.

Wrong, they say Neanderthals and our ancestors met in the Middle East around the Levant.
