A modern day Hannibal Lecter?
My brother pointed me to this absolutely bonkers story out of Moscow in which a 68-year-old woman is accused of beheading 11 victims, and possibly eating them, too.
From the Daily Mail:
The serial-killing ‘Granny Ripper’ who confessed to 11 murders in a gruesome diary may have eaten her victims, police in Russia have said.
Tamara Samsonova, 68, is thought to have beheaded and dismembered her victims in a reign of terror that lasted two decades.
The pensioner dubbed the ‘Granny Ripper’ entered details of her secret life in diaries which she kept in Russian, English and German, alongside black magic and astrological books.
She was arrested last week after being filmed by CCTV cameras near her home in St Petersburg removing the body of her latest victim in black plastic bag.
Now detectives suspect that the former hotel worker also ate some body parts she removed from the people she killed, chopping off their heads, arms and legs.
The site adds that Samsonova had a penchant for gauging out and eating lungs, it is claimed.
It is also suggested the self-confessed killer gave her final victim, Valentina Ulanova, 79, an overdose of sleeping pills before dismembering her body with a hacksaw while she was still alive.
Jesus.
She was detained after the headless body of Ulanova – for whom she was a carer – was found near a pond on Dimitrova Street in St Petersburg.
