Russian girl's killers ate body parts
by Dan Eden for viewzone.com Here in America we don't like to know the bad things that are happening around the word -- at least not in detail. We know that the "bad times" are coming but we don't like to think about "how bad" they are going to be. A case in point is that most Americans were unaware that there was a Global conference in Davos on the Economic Crisis, let alone what was discussed there. Bloomberg's business news reported the meeting as follows: "Grimmest Davos Ever Brings Anger, Finger- Pointing at Bankers," and one observer noted that "the only good news in Davos was the weather." I have a friend in Australia that watched almost every minute on C-Span satellite TV.
John's not a person to exaggerate, but it was hard to imagine ordinary people, civilized people, resorting to cannibalism... but, alas, it has already started! The news item below shows what can happen when the situation gets as bad as it is predicted to be in a modern country like America. This particular incident happened in Russia, where an estimated 60% percent of the population was living at poverty level in the best of times. Could this happen here soon? [News Item, Associated Press Writer Irina Titova, Associated Press Writer ñ 1 hr 18 mins agoST. PETERSBURG, Russia] Two young men ó one of them a butcher ó have been arrested on suspicion of killing a 16-year-old girl and eating parts of her body, Russian prosecutors said Wednesday. The girl disappeared after leaving her home in St. Petersburg for school on Jan. 19, city prosecutor's spokesman Sergei Kapitonov said. He said she was killed that night, and that body parts believed to be hers were found in plastic bags scattered around the city. Police arrested Yuri Mozhnov, a florist, and Maxim Golovatskikh, a street-market butcher and one-time psychiatric patient on Saturday, Kapitonov said. The suspects, both 19, knew the victim, and she accompanied them voluntarily to an apartment rented by another acquaintance on the day she went missing, Kapitonov said. Prosecutors believe they drowned the girl in a bathtub. "The arrestees said they ate the girl's body parts because they were hungry," Kapitonov said. They told investigators they baked some body parts with potatoes, he said. They allegedly disposed of her bagged remains in garbage containers and bodies of water. Bags with body parts were found in at least two locations, he said. Both men are being held on suspicion of murder. Moscow-based tabloid Komsomolskaya Pravda on Wednesday cited a department head at the St. Petersburg forensic medicine office, Vitaly Sysoyev, as saying the body parts had not been positively identified as those of the girl, who he said was still officially listed as missing. Kapitonov said he was unaware of that. Lavrenko said investigators found traces of blood when they ripped out plumbing and floorboards in the apartment, fontanka.ru reported. Mozhnov was convicted of robbery in 2005, Kapitonov said. He said Golovatskikh had been treated in the past at a psychiatric hospital.

John McGovern has been writing to me almost daily, shocked at what he's heard. He says the situation is so bad that it was even suggested that people would have food riots and resort to eating eachother!
