Mother & Sons Strangle Man, Eat His Innards

ROSTOV-ON-DON, Russia --A woman and her two teenage sons have been accused of strangling a man and eating his innards, police in southern Russia said Thursday.

The woman and her sons were arrested this week on murder charges in the Rostov region town of Krasny Sulin, about 575 miles south of Moscow, regional police spokesman Alexei Polyansky said.

Police believe they strangled a local man during an argument and ate his internal organs, he said.

Polyansky said the suspects were being questioned and would be sent to a psychiatric clinic to undergo tests. The woman is in her late 30s and her sons were born in 1986 and 1989, he said.

According to Polyansky, there has been no cannibalism cases in the Rostov region in more than 10 years.

In 1992, Russia's worst serial killer, Andrei Chikatilo, was convicted of killing and mutilating 52 women and children in the region between 1978 and his arrest in 1990. The trial judge said that in some cases Chikatilo, who was later executed, had cut off victims' body parts and eaten them.

1. "...there has been no cannibalism cases...

"...in the Rostov region in more than 10 years."

Had it been a widespread problem before?

[KittyWampus]

2. that line is definately the 'pay off'

[underpants]

4. Apparently so

in the "oh yeah we used to have a serial killer eating about 50 or so people" file

[xchrom]

6. yup -- that's what jumped out at me too.

wow - in more than 10 years, eh?

cross that place off my itinerary.

[baldguy]

10. and Thanksgiving is coming up too...

[xchrom]

15. Rostov was hit hard by the Soviet famines in the 1920s and 1930s

my grandmother grew up there. She remembered eating tree bark and grass seeds and dogs when she was young.

widespread outbreaks of cannibalism were reported in the nearby Ukraine, and I am sure there were outbreaks in the Rostov/Don basin area

[TallahasseeGrannie]

3. Oh yum

maybe I won't have sausage for breakfast after all.

[Shell Beau]

5. Where do you get this shit?

:puke: :puke: :puke:

I would definitely say they needed to undergo psychiatric evaluation.

[Zuni]

7. My grandmother was from Rostov on Don

:scared:

I am not joking. She lived there under Stalin, and there were many famines were cannibalism occured at the time, but she never talked about this. Hopefully she did not participate

[GOPisEvil]

8. Ever eat pot roast at her house?

Any strange disappearances of local vagrants?

:scared:

[Zuni]

9. well, she lived with us from when I was a little kid

my grandfather died when I was 5 and she moved in with us. She was small, harmless and increasingly out of it.

But it is always the small and meek ones that turn out to be the worst killers

[GOPisEvil]

11. Maybe she came to America to flee prosecution.

:o

[Zuni]

13. grandma....

:cry:

[GOPisEvil]

14. Hey, my grandfather's family came from Kentucky.

You want to talk embarrassing. :blush:

[Zuni]

16. did you know Kentucky has a law on the books

that you have to bathe at least once a year?

I wonder why that law was deemed nessecary? :shrug:

[GOPisEvil]

17. I knew there was a reason grandpa's family left.

Damn fascists and their laws!

[Zuni]

18. it was done to transfer our wealth to the soap conglomerates

:grr:

[ps1074]

20. True

I've watched a german documentary about that a couple of years ago. It was heartbraking... A widespread hunger and people going out on the streets during the night to search for other dead people, so they can eat something... Very sad indeed :(

[bleedingheart]

40. yep...in the Ukraine as well there were reports of cannibalism

due to Stalin's planned starvation of the masses...

he was one sick bastard...

[qnr]

12. Only the innards? n/t

[Tari]

21. Two cannibals were eating a clown.

One cannibal turns to the other cannibal & says,

"Does this taste funny to you?"

[Hugin]

23. "Ba-doom *psssh!*

Your very own drum riff!

:7

[Hugin]

22. "been no cannibalism cases in the Rostov region in more than 10 years"

Did this line crack any body else up?

Dang, they had a run going and here somebody went and screwed
it up.

[anarch]

27. they should probably put up a road sign, so when you are driving

into the Rostov region, you see "Welcome to Rostov: No Cannibalism Cases in ______ days"...and they can, you know, keep it updated.

[Hugin]

30. LOL!

Sounds reasonable... Maybe with some LED's lighting the number
of days. So, it's easy to update from a remote location.

[Zuni]

32. ....

:rofl:

[texas1928]

24. Sorry Russians make me gassy.

I just could not help myself. I had to post that.

[AllegroRondo]

25. "There is no cannibalism in the Royal Navy"

"and when I say none, I do mean there is actually a small amount."

[WeRQ4U]

26. I wonder if eating him was why the killed him, or just an afterthought....

"Well, he is dead, and I would rather not go OUT to eat tonight"

There is a warm seat in hell waiting for me, I'm sure.

[El Fuego]

28. Russia isn't known for its cuisine

Now we know why. :puke:

[sakabatou]

29. Urgh

>_<

[northzax]

31. mmm, sweetbread.

what do you think the substitution is from Veal to Human?

and next time, Sir and Madam, may I suggest HuFu, the healthy alternative?

[tjwash]

33. "no cannibalism cases in the Rostov region in more than 10 years"

o.....kay.

10 years huh. quite impressive.

[BreweryYardRat]

34. Eesh.

That's real pleasant.

On the other hand, did you guys hear about the cannibal who dumped his girlfriend?

[puerco-bellies]

35. OK I'll play your silly game

What about the cannibal that dumped his girlfriend?

[nemo137]

37. think about it....

yep, it's like that.

[Bill McBlueState]

38. oh wow

:spray: :spray: :spray:

[pdx_prog]

36. I wonder who ended up with the Giant Weiner?

[XemaSab]

39. This sounds like every x-files episode ever

has there been a mad cow outbreak in the area?

and are there any younger siblings at home born well after daddy ran away?

and have they checked the sewers for either a giant fluke man or a man capable of squeezing into *very* tight spaces?

inquiring minds.... :shrug:
