ST. PETERSBURG, Russia – Two young men, one of them a butcher have been arrested on suspicion of killing a 16-year-old girl and eating parts of her body, city prosecutor's spokesman Sergei Kapitonov Wednesday.
"The arrestees said they ate the girl's body parts because they were hungry," Kapitonov said. They told investigators they baked some body parts with potatoes, he said.
Police arrested Yuri Mozhnov, a florist, and Maxim Golovatskikh, a street-market butcher and one-time psychiatric patient on Saturday, Kapitonov said.
The suspects, both 19, knew the victim, and she accompanied them voluntarily to an apartment rented by another acquaintance on the day she went missing, Kapitonov said. Prosecutors believe they drowned the girl in a bathtub.
