Twisted Case of You Are What You Eat

Grandma might have reminded us that "you are what you eat" when we tried to bargain for popsicles instead of peas but a trio of homeless men in Russia recently took Grandma's admonishment to horrendous extremes - the truly twisted trio dined on a comrade and tried to sell leftovers to a kebab kiosk.

This memorable meal took place in the city of Perm, which is about 720 miles east of Moscow.  It was there local officials became understandably suspicious when human body parts were found near a bus stop at the edge of town.

Further investigation revealed three men, all homeless, had taken after a 25-year-old rival, using a hammer and knives to kill him.  After that dirty deed was done, the butchery began.  The hungry troika then filled their bellies with select cuts of their former foe before taking the remaining prime cuts to a kebab-and-pies kiosk.

In a statement on the case issued last Friday, a spokesman for the Prosecutor-General's office of Perm's investigative unit, said the three men had been arrested.  It was unclear at that time, however, how much, if any, of the exotic meat had been unwittingly sold from the kiosk to its customers.
