This particular criminal is obviously mentally ill. He called the police and confessed, stopping the planned series of crimes.

It’s good he did that.

Mental hospitals need to be brought back and well supervised. I realize a lot of abuse used to happen i them.

But mental illness aside, the person is still a danger to society.

I'm guessing even those who don't call the police and confess after plotting to kill, dismember and eat another human are mentally ill as well. :-)
