Stories of cannibalism will send shivers down your spine. Some consumed their friends, while others devoured the flesh of innocent children. Cannibalism, the act of eating human flesh, is considered one of the most abhorrent crimes in the world. The mere mention of the word fills us with revulsion and anger. We are all astonished at how a human being could kill and then eat another. Reflecting on this is sickening and disturbing. Yet, the truth is that such individuals exist, and they are among us. The Nithari killings in India serve as a chilling reminder of this grim reality. The motivation behind such monstrous acts remains shrouded in psychological mystery. No one can truly fathom what goes on within a mind capable of such cruelty.
Some infamous cannibals from around the world:
Jeffrey Dahmer:
Between 1971 and 1991, Jeffrey Dahmer brutally murdered approximately 17 gay men and boys. Dahmer would kill, dismember, and consume his victims. He even kept parts of their bodies in his refrigerator. Known as "The Milwaukee Cannibal," he was sentenced to 16 life sentences. In 1994, another inmate, Christopher Scarver, beat him to death while in prison.
Issei Sagawa:
Issei Sagawa became a notorious figure worldwide. In 1981, Sagawa went to the University of Paris to study English literature. Sagawa hired a Dutch student, René, as a German tutor. Their friendship blossomed, but one day Sagawa shot René in the back with a .22 caliber rifle. Reports suggest that Sagawa had a long-standing desire to consume human flesh and had sought help from a psychiatrist. The 32-year-old Sagawa consumed René's raw flesh, which reportedly involved sexual acts with the body. Sagawa was arrested but extradited to Japan. After spending 15 months in a Japanese psychiatric hospital, Sagawa was released. He now lives as a free man.
José Luis Calva:
When police arrived at José Luis Calva's home in Mexico, they found him in the act of consuming human flesh. The police were investigating the disappearance of Calva's girlfriend. Human remains were found in his frying pans and refrigerator. Calva was also working on a book titled "Cannibal Instincts." He was sentenced to 84 years in prison and one day committed suicide in prison.
These are just a few examples of the horrific acts committed by cannibals throughout history. Each case serves as a chilling reminder of the depths of human depravity.
