Russian cannibal who ate his mother given lighter sentence - judge says 'he needed to eat'

A cannibal who killed and ate parts of his mother had his sentence reduced by a judge who said 'he needed to eat'.

Sergey Gavrilov secured reduced time in jail after confessing: 'I did not like the meat very much. It was too fatty. But I was so hungry, I had to eat it.'

The 27-year-old was given a lenient prison sentence because the judge said he was starving and needed to eat after spending all his money on vodka and gambling machines.

The Russian man hit his mother Lyubov, 55, over the head with a brick and then strangled her with an electric cable following a row over her refusal to give him her pension money to spend on alcohol.

A court heard how he put her body on the balcony of the family flat near Samara, in southern Russia, and took her allowance before going on a two day drinking and gambling binge.

Returning to the flat, he soon ran out of food and started slicing meat from his mother's body.

'She was frozen, like meat in the freezer,' he told police.

He cooked soup and pasta with meat from his mother's body over a period of more than a month, he said.

He would be an improvement.

The only trick he missed is being merciful because Sergey was an orphan...

Wow. These idiot judges have gone global.

France forced a man to support his adult son for however long it took for the guy to get a job

Italy reduced the sentence for ..err... just days ago... dang I forget....

And a few years back, if I remember, a Canadian court tried to legalize kiddie porn.

Oh yea, crazy judges are not just for America anymore.

Sounds like he knows how to cook fairly well. When he’s released after his light sentence, he can open a restaurant.

Poor guy was starving. And, besides, he was an orphan.
