On July 3, 1997, the supreme court of Russia’s Chuvash Autonomous Republic sentenced Vladimir Nikolayev, 38, to death for killing and cannibalizing two people in the town of Novocheboksary. Nikolayev was arrested in his apartment in the winter of 1996 when police found a pan of roasted human meat on the stove. In the snow on his balcony, Nikolayev had more bodies part stored to eat later. Investigators who questioned Nikolayev said he had jokingly asked them to prepare him dinner using his stock of human meat. Nikolayev’s friend’s unknowingly ate the body of evidence as he passed it off as “kangaroo meat”.

“I was coming home from a party a little drunk and next to the door of my building there was another guy; also drunk who asked me for a light. We started arguing and it got into a fight. He hit me and I hit him and it turned out he died. What was I to do? I dragged him to the bathroom, undressed him and started cutting him apart. I cut off his head, arms, legs and all of a sudden something kinda struck me and I thought I would try him. I cut off a piece of meat from his thigh and boiled it. I tried it, but didn’t like it so I chopped it up and fried it in a frying pan. I gave the meat to one of my friends, he took it home - gave it to his wife. She made dumplings with it, had some herself and fed it to her children. Well, I said it was kangaroo. We don’t have kangaroos around here. They didn’t know what it was.” - Vladimir Nikolayev.
 
Vladimir Nikolayev gigged in between sentences during his interview. He is currently imprisoned at the notorious Black Dolphin prison in Russia.
