AFP:
Three homeless men in the Russian city of Perm killed a man, ate part of the body and sold other portions to be used as meat in a kebab stand, investigators said on Friday.
The three men, acting out of "personal hostility toward the victim," stabbed and beat the 25-year-old with a knife and a hammer until he died at the scene, the Perm branch of Russia's investigative committee said.
"After the crime was carried out, the corpse was dismembered and partly used for food, and also sold to a kiosk that sold kebab and meat pies," it said in a statement.
The homeless men have been charged with murder over the crime, which took place in a forested area of Perm, a city near the Ural Mountains located some 1,400km east of Moscow, the statement said.
