‘Cannibal couple’ arrested for killing and eating more than 30 People in Russia

A couple arrested for murder in the south-west Russian city of Krasnodar have admitted killing up to 30 people, local media report.

Dmitry Baksheev, 35, and his wife Natalia, were reportedly arrested after a dismembered body was found at the military base where they lived.

Police confirmed a number of food and meat items discovered at their home were now being tested for human DNA.

A mobile phone was found by road construction workers earlier this month with graphic images of dismembered body parts on the device.

One photograph uncovered and published on Russian media appears to show Mr Baksheev posing with a dismembered body part in his mouth.

A body of a 35-year-old woman was then reportedly discovered at a military academy where the couple live. The body was dismembered and a bag of the victim’s belongings were reportedly also found.

The couple reportedly still lived in the hostel accommodation at the property after once working at the site.
The Russian interior ministry confirmed the man in the images had been identified and arrested.

Footage has been released on Russian state media reportedly showing police searching the couple’s home.
A number of human body parts were pictured, some preserved in saline in jars.

In a statement, the Investigative Committee of the Krasnodar Territory confirmed that during the search “food fragments and frozen meat pieces of unknown origin were also seen during the search.
