In 2012, a Japanese man had his genitals removed and then seasoned them
before cooking them for five paying dinner party guests. Mao Sugiyama,
22, who is asexual, had voluntarily undergone surgery to have them
removed. However, the illustrator took his frozen penis and scrotum home
from the hospital and organized a grim party.
He charged guests
around $250 per person to eat his severed genitalia in Tokyo, Japan.
They were garnished with mushrooms and parsley. Before tucking into
dinner, guests sat down to listen to a piano recital and take part in a
panel discussion.
Mao, who goes by the nickname HC, had initially
considered eating his own penis – but decided to serve them up,
instead. He cooked the genitalia himself as he was supervised by a chef.
In a Tweet, he offered to cook his penis for a guest for 100,000 yen.
However, he ultimately decided to split the "meal" between six guests.
In
total, around 70 people attended the event in the Suginami ward in
Tokyo. While five people tucked into Mao Sugiyama's genitalia, the rest
of them ate beef or crocodile. The people who ate his genitalia were a
30-year-old couple, a 22-year-old woman, a 32-year-old man, and
Shigenobu Matsuzawa, 29, an event planner.
The Australian woman who killed her ex-husband and served him as dinner for his kids
The first Australian woman to be sentenced to a natural life term
without parole, Katherine Knight had a history of violence in
relationships. She mashed the dentures of one of her ex-husbands and
slashed the throat of another husband's eight-week-old puppy before his
eyes. A heated relationship with John Charles Thomas Price became public
knowledge with an "Apprehended Violence Order" that Price had filed
against Knight.
She stabbed Mr. Price 37 times with a butcher's
knife before skinning him and hanging his hide from a meat hook in their
lounge room back in 2000. She then decapitated him and put his head in a
pot on the stove, baked flesh from his buttocks, and cooked vegetables
and gravy as side dishes to serve to Mr. Price's children.
Thankfully, police found the macabre dinner before the children arrived home.
The punk rock man who ate his own finger after losing it in an accident
David Playpenz of Colchester, Essex was in a motorcycle accident in
which he hurt his hand. When he showed it to doctors a few days later,
and one of the fingers had turned black, they said that the digit would
have to be amputated. Playpenz went through with the procedure and later
asked to be able to take his severed finger home. "Sure!" said the
doctors, who had no idea what he planned to do next.
Playpenz,
who is in his 30s and is a bonded furniture maker by trade, apparently
was always curious about cannibalism. “I'd always wondered what human
flesh tastes like. But it's taboo. People can't go around being
cannibals – that's illegal. Only then, it occurred to me that no one
could haul me to court for eating my own flesh. I decided to cook it and
taste it. Then my curiosity would be satisfied.”
He happily
photographed the event for posterity, saved the bones, and posted the
whole thing on his Facebook page, including the boiled finger. Needless
to say, Playpenz got mixed reactions from friends, though it seems that
he was correct that he would not be charged with any crime.
The cannibal who found his victim online
The chilling story of how a cannibal tracked down a willing victim and
ate him is enough to scare you from using the Internet. Armin Miewes had
nurtured a dream of killing and eating a human since he was 12. He said
he once imagined putting a schoolfriend onto a kebab spit "and slowly
roasting him."
It took 29 years and 430 e-mail contacts to make his dream come true.
He searched for willing victims in
chatrooms
such as Gourmet, Cannibal Cafi and Eaten Up, advertising for "young,
well-built men aged 18 to 30 to slaughter." The 41-year-old computer
expert eventually made contact with Bernd Brandes, 43. The Berliner, who
was also a computer technician, had sold his car, written a will, and
taken the day off work to sort out what he called "a personal matter."
He went to Miewes' home in Rotenburg, central Germany, where the pair
agreed to cut off Brandes' penis.
Miewes cooked it with garlic,
salt, and pepper in a frying pan before both men ate it. Then he
videotaped himself stabbing Brandes in the chest with a 12 in. knife.
"It was an indescribable feeling for me," he told police in a
confession. Later, he filleted 65 lb. of flesh from the body, which he
labelled as "rump, steak, fillet, ham and bacon." He stored the parts in
his freezer for seven months, occasionally removing fillets to barbecue
in his garden.
His first meal was a "thigh steak" cooked in
garlic and Muscat wine, served with deep-fried potato balls, Brussel
sprouts, and washed down with a South African cabernet. "The flesh
tasted so much like pork I can't tell you," Miewes told police. Officers
who searched his library found human cookery books among a collection
of Walt Disney videos. They included recipes for "penis in red wine" and
"breaded young man's liver."
Miewes, who was arrested after a
tip-off from another contact who got cold feet, will be tried for
murder, since cannibalism is not a crime in Germany.
The naked cannibal who was killed by Police while chewing another man's face
In 2012, it was reported how a naked man was shot and killed by police
in Miami, Florida while eating the face of another naked man who was
lying next to him on a freeway off-ramp in a horrific incident described
by one witness as "the most gruesome thing I have ever seen in my
life."
Rudy Eugene was killed by a city police officer after
refusing to back away from Ronald Poppo, who was left fighting for his
life in a hospital after suffering critical injuries. The ghoulish
incident took place near the MacArthur Causeway on the doorstep of the
Miami Herald, with the newspaper's security cameras filming the event.
A
police officer approached the man after being flagged down by a
passer-by and then ordered him to move away from the man whose face he
was eating. After he refused to acknowledge the officer's warning he
opened fire, with witnesses reporting at least six shots fired. Witness
Larry Vega said, "I told him to get off, and the guy just kept eating
the other guy away."
Describing the scene after the police
officer issued his warning, he added:,"The guy just stood, his head up
like that, with pieces of flesh in his mouth. And he growled."
After
the officer was hailed as a "hero" by his colleagues, Sergeant Altarr
Williams, supervisor of Miami Police's homicide unit, said individuals
did not have to be armed to be dangerous.
The German tourist who was "eaten by cannibals" on a Pacific island
Stefan Ramin, a 40-year-old German tourist who was visiting the island
of Nuku Hiva in the Pacific Ocean, has disappeared and his remains are
believed to have been found by a campfire belonging to a tribe accused
of being cannibals. Mr. Ramin had stopped on the island as part of a
sailing expedition with his 37-year-old girlfriend Heike Dorsch in 2011.
He
met a guide, Henri Haiti, who took him on a goat hunt – a popular
tradition on Nuku Hiva, which is 930 miles northeast of Tahiti and close
to the equator. However, when the guide returned alone he told Ms.
Dorsch that there had been an accident, before allegedly attacking her
and tying her to a tree.
Ms. Dorsch managed to escape and raise
the alarm with local law enforcement, who started looking for clues as
to the guide's whereabouts, while DNA tests were conducted on what are
thought to be human remains near a campfire. Among the findings are what
are thought to be human bones, teeth, a skull jawbone and partially
melted metal which are believed to be fillings.
The Russian cannibals who ate their own brother
In 2009, two cannibals had been feasting on the remains of their brother
for six months in an effort to hide his murder. The brothers,
identified only as 28-year-old Timur and 23-year-old Marat, admitted to
killing their older brother Rafis and then eating him in the central
Russian city of Perm.
Police grew suspicious when the brothers
reported Rafis missing but were vague about giving details of their
brother. After raiding the house of the brothers, police discovered the
skeleton of Rafis, which the brothers had stripped bare and buried in
the garden. Timur said that he ate his brother because he couldn't face
going back to prison, where he had served ten years for murdering his
next door neighbor.
"Yes, we've decided to eat him. I did not
want to return behind the bars, so we have cut off his head and buried
it and the body have cut in parts and kept in a refrigerator," Timur
reportedly said. "We have been cooking and eating his meat for six
months," he added.
The 28-year-old said he blamed his brother
Rafis for his last spell in jail, after he reported him to police for
the murder. Timur also said that the youngest brother, Marat, had sided
with him in the fight.
The two man who ate their dead friend after getting lost in Siberia
Waving goodbye to their families, four men were in high spirits as they
loaded their jeep and set off on a much-anticipated adventure holiday.
Their destination was a land from another time, a largely unpenetrated
corner of eastern Siberia roamed by bears and wolves, where sightings of
yeti-like beasts are not uncommon and only the hardiest of explorers
dare to tread. What happened next to the four Russian travelers is a
mystery that is only just beginning to yield its secrets. The story of
their four-month ordeal has gripped and appalled readers in equal
measure.
Two of the men returned alive, one was still missing,
while the fourth man – 44-year-old Andrei Kurochina – was found dead
under strange circumstances. At first, it was assumed that he had
simply perished in the extreme cold. But then the shocking truth began
to emerge. Police discovered that he had been cannibalized and that his
flesh was quite possibly eaten by his best friend, Alexei Gorulenko, and
fellow adventurer Alexander Abdullayev, to keep themselves alive.
Abdullayev,
37, insists that they ate Kurochina only after he died from natural
causes. However, police suspect otherwise and have launched a murder
investigation.
The chef who slow cooked his wife
On the night of October 18, 2009, David Viens and his wife Dawn had a
terrible argument. Finally fed up, he taped her mouth and bound her
feet. He claims it was to prevent her from “driving around wasted,
whacked out on coke, and drinking.” He was panicked to find out the next
day that Dawn had died in the bound and gagged position. That's
absolutely terrible… but that's not even half of the story. You see,
instead of simply calling the police and turning himself in, David came
up with a disgusting way to dispose of the body.
At the time of
Dawn's untimely death, David was the chef and owner of Thyme Cafe in
Torrance, California, located in the South Bay of Los Angeles. In an
interview with detectives, David simply explains, “I just slowly cooked
it, and I ended up cooking her for four days.” David packed his wife's
105 pound body into a container, using heavy weights to keep it
submerged in the boiling water. He mixed the corpse with other various
kitchen waste and poured everything down the grease pit located in Thyme
Cafe's kitchen. The other remains that would not cook down were packed
away into trash bags and thrown away.
The only thing that
remained of Dawn was her skull. David explained in the interview,
“That's the only thing I didn't want to get rid of in case I wanted to
leave it somewhere.” Uh… so where's the skull? He claimed that he put it
in his mother's attic; but when investigators combed the location later
that day, they found nothing. This is obviously not the first time
investigators have torn apart locations close to David in search of
evidence. Back in 2011, Thyme Cafe was dug up and searched, but nothing
was found. Now we know exactly why police were unable to find Dawn's
remains. She was slow-cooked to mush and dumped down the drain.
David's
voice was alarmingly calm while he gave the interview, which was taken
in March 2011 and used in court during the murder trial. David listened
to the tape in the courtroom along with the jurors, who appeared stunned
and disgusted at the tape-recorded interview. The interviews were taken
while David was in the hospital after attempting suicide when he
learned that he was a suspect in Dawn's disappearance. Apparently, he
jumped off an 80-foot cliff… because that's totally the behavior of an
innocent man.
The cannibal mom who fed her son's flesh to relatives
In 2008, an eight year-old boy was skinned and his flesh was fed to
cannibal relatives after his mother kept him locked in a cellar. Evil
Klara Mauerova, a member of a sinister religious cult, wept in court as
she admitted torturing her son, Ondrej, and his ten year-old brother,
Jakub.
The court also heard allegations that relatives had
partially skinned eight-year-old Ondrej and then eaten the raw human
flesh. The two boys told how their mother and relatives had stubbed
cigarettes out on their bare skin, whipped them with belts and tried to
drown them.
The sick abuse was discovered when a man in Brno, in
the Czech Republic, installed a TV baby monitor to keep watch on his
newborn child. However, it picked up a signal from an identical monitor
next door that showed one of the victims beaten, naked, and chained in a
cellar.
Mauerova is understood to have installed it so she could
gloat over her victims' suffering from the comfort of her kitchen.
Police were called, and the boy and his brother, as well as what
appeared to be a 13-year-old girl, were freed. At that time, police did
not realize that the 13-year-old, who had been formally adopted, was
really 34-year-old Barbora Skrlova, one of the children's torturers.
Mauerova
has admitted that she abused her children, but she said she had been
manipulated by her sisters Katerina and Skrlova. All three of them had
been part of a cult called the Grail Movement, which claims to have
hundreds of followers in Britain as well as tens of thousands of others
worldwide.
South African caught at airport with crocodiles and 70 other animals in luggage
