Judge: Man Who Ate Mother 'Needed to Eat'

[evanovitch]

(MYFOX NATIONAL) -
A Russian man has been given a reduced sentence because the judge said "he needed to eat" after he killed and ate parts of his mother.

The Daily Mail reports that Sergey Gavrilov <span style="font-weight: bold">received a shorter jail sentence after confessing he was hungry and needed to eat his mom because he had spent all of his money on vodka and gambling.</span> Russia's law usually assigns 15 years in jail for those who have committed crimes like Gavrilov's, but the convict will serve 14 years and three months.

The newspaper reports that Gavrilov killed his mother by hitting her head with a brick and strangling her after she refused to give him money to spend on alcohol. He put her body on the balcony at their home in southern Russia, and then went away for two days on a gambling and drinking binge.

He returned home hungry. With no food around, he started eating parts of his mother.

Police discovered the grisly scene when they were called to the home, suspecting he had stolen a cell phone.

Last month police arrested a father in the Philippines who they say killed a boy who had been bullying his son, carved out meat on the boy's body and shared the meat with his drinking friends.

...

The criminal had been eating the corpse for a month since he had no means of sustenance after her death.

...

The policeman entered into a dingy, messy apartment with purple walls. On the balcony, he found a stiff female corpse without legs.

...

Every day he would cut a piece of her legs and cooke soups and pasta sauces.

...

State prosecution incriminated him with cannibalism as well, but the court ruled that the criminal ate his mother out of hunger only, and therefore, could not be charged with cannibalism.

It's never anyone's fault these days, now is it? Damn all of us who sacrificed and made good choices throughout or lives even when it was the harder path to follow.
