Russian man kills and eats drinking partner after running out of snacks at vodka party... and sells leftovers at market as PORK

A Russian man killed a drinking partner after he and his friends ran out of snacks at a vodka party - then sold the leftovers as pork at a market.

The 35-year-old admitted stabbing his fellow drinker, 41, to death before slicing flesh off the corpse, which he cooked and ate, police said.

The next day, the cannibal took more meat to a local market on Russky Island, Vladivostok, saying it was pork.

A local man bought the meat - but was sickened by the smell as he cooked it.

'He purchased some 'pork', but noticed as he cooked it, the smell was strange,' said investigative police spokeswoman Avrora Rimskaya.

'Despite this he ate the meat, and it tasted strange, too.

'The man then took the meat to the experts, who confirmed that it wasn't from an animal. Hearing this, the buyer immediately took it to the police.'

Officers went to his house where the suspect confessed to both murder and cannibalism, she said. Read More
