Russian Admits Eating His Drinking Buddies

Associated Press

A man has pleaded guilty to killing three drinking partners and eating their internal organs, a newspaper reported Wednesday.

Ilshat Kuzikov, 37, was found to be insane and sent to a maximum-security psychiatric hospital, the Moskovsky Komsomolets reported.

Kuzikov brought acquaintances to his apartment to drink shots of vodka, then killed them and ate their body parts, police said.

Police found the victims’ dismembered bodies in Kuzikov’s apartment after his arrest in 1995.

Kuzikov said he killed the men because he couldn’t buy enough to eat on his $20 monthly pension.
