A court in Russia’s Far East convicted two men of murder after they killed and ate a man, sharing the meal with their girlfriends. The women were not prosecuted as cannibalism proper is not punishable under Russian criminal law.

The two men, residents of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, have been found guilty of murder, Interfax reported Monday, and sentenced them to 20 and 13 years in prison.

In October 2004 the two friends met a man at an alcohol kiosk. After a brief conversation, they killed him, dismembered his body and cooked it.

Then they invited their girlfriends to dinner, telling them the meat was dogs’ meat. The girls only learned what they had eaten after they finished the dinner.

However the girls who ate human flesh were not taken to court.

“The Russian legislation does not say anything about cannibalism,” the court said.

A similar trial took place in Kamchatka four years ago. Then, the group of criminals that killed and ate several people were sentenced to more than 20 years in prison each.
