A cannibal who killed and ate parts of his mother had his sentence reduced by a judge who said 'he needed to eat'.
Sergey Gavrilov secured reduced time in jail after confessing: 'I did not like the meat very much. It was too fatty. But I was so hungry, I had to eat it.'
The 27-year-old was given a lenient prison sentence because the judge said he was starving and needed to eat after spending all his money on vodka and gambling machines.

The Russian man hit his mother Lyubov, 55, over the head with a brick and then strangled her with an electric cable following a row over her refusal to give him her pension money to spend on alcohol.
A court heard how he put her body on the balcony of the family flat near Samara, in southern Russia, and took her allowance before going on a two day drinking and gambling binge.
Returning to the flat, he soon ran out of food and started slicing meat from his mother's body.
'She was frozen, like meat in the freezer,' he told police.
He cooked soup and pasta with meat from his mother's body over a period of more than a month, he said.

The Russian criminal code dictates 15 years in jail for his crimes but the judge said he was reducing it slightly because Gavrilov - who previously served time in jail for robbery - pleaded guilty and 'he was not keen to eat the meat, he just was hungry'.
Gavrilov was jailed for 14 years and three months.

I'm not the type t post brazenly cynical comments on every single news piece I see, but this story is just bizarre enough to post, and while I guess I'm not shocked, I believe this perfectly warrants a wtf?

You're not shocked? Fucking hell, that's weird.

If the guy spent all his money on gambling and booze then it's his fault the fucking psychopath.

I hope he dies.

I hope he dies.

At the risk of being put on probation, I agree. The guy should die. I'm guessing Russia doesn't have the death penalty, unfortunately?

 

[Gildan Bladeborn]

I'll see your wtf and raise you an OMGWTFBBQ!!? So a drunken deadbeat bludgeons and strangles his own mother, and then proceeds to freaking eat her, but that's not so bad because hey, a man's got to eat (his own murdered mother)?!

What the hell is wrong with that judge? They should be increasing the fellow's sentence since he's obviously a cold blooded bastard who would freaking eat his own mother in a pinch, not reducing it!

I think not. Because we're oh so civilised in the EU. To be fair mate I don't think it would be fair to be put on probation for our opinions anyway.

Pretty soon we'll end up with vigilantes.

Batman wouldn't let this kinda shit happen!
In all seriousness that is completely bizzare.

 

[Ancientgamer]

Umm, was time being reduced from his murdering her and robbing her charge, or from the charge of murdering her and eating her?

I think the the charge was reduced because he was eating her out of "necessity" Rather than want (He said she tasted bad).


And the psychologists deemed him perfectly sane btw.

Perhaps the judge deducted 9 months because eating his own mother must have been a significant amount of self-inflicted punishment.

He must live in a pretty crappy part of the world that murdering your mom for booze money is considered a 15-year offense.

Russia isn't part of the EU.

That's bullshat.

Here's how it is

"Man murders his own mother for not giving him her pension money for booze. He then proceeds to eat her because he is hungry and lost all of his money to gambling and beer".

That earns a reduced sentence. Christ what has the world come too?

Saying that the meat was too fatty sounds like the most elaborately planned and beautifully executed yo' momma joke ever.

Executed. I see what you did there.

 

[ThreeWords]

I hope he dies.

Everyone dies eventually.

All you need do is wait him out.

 

[etherlance]

Wait a minute.....he cooked his mother with soup and pasta???


well thats a terrible way to eat human meat, you need to deep fry a bit of the shoulders and serve it with mashed potatoe and chips.
or perhaps he should have roasted a nice bit of leg on the bone along with a few vegatables
and stock.

I really hope when they say he had her with pasta, it was in the form of spaghetti and meat balls. other wise he wasted a good piece of meat.....hhhhmmmm where did he get the pasta from if he was starving, unless he made little pasta bows and other pasta shapes out of her skin.....because that would just go down a treat.

Except that is was his own mother, so a yo mamma joke wouldn't make any sense.

Edit= OHHHH I see what you did there

 

[A Raging Emo]

That's a bit bizarre.

Hang on... Where did he get the Pasta from if he was "starving"?

 

[MiracleOfSound]

This made me chuckle.

Yo mama's so fat, she tastes bad and gets your jail sentence reduced.
