This cannibal story out of Russia leaves me in need of answers

So, my nightmare week continues. First the mouse attack in Bergen County, then the maggots in the hoagie story, and today we have: Cannibals!

The BBC is reporting that a couple in Russia is suspected of killing up to 30 people and then eating them. I have always been fascinated by cannibals, probably because it so taboo. Or maybe it’s because I was raised Catholic and was told I was eating the body of Christ every week at mass.

I don’t know, but back to the Russia story, police are reported to have found plastic bags filled with dismembered body parts and “meat pieces of unknown origins”. A cell phone was found with graphic images on it, including a picture of a severed head being served with fruit. I want to know why they did it. Is the taste of human flesh so delicious that they risked imprisonment? And, how did this couple find each other? Is there a cannibal dating site? Who brings up the cannibalism and how? I’ll be watching this case closely.
