3 Sentenced in Russian Case of Human Meat Sold to Kebab Stall
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A court in Russia handed down long jail sentences to three homeless men Wednesday after they killed and ate a man and sold parts of his body to a kebab stall.
Two men were sentenced to 18 years for murder and desecrating a body, while the third was sentenced to 13 years for murder, a spokesman for Perm regional court in the Urals region told the Interfax news agency.
The men were arrested in November after police found human remains at a bus stop on the outskirts of Perm.

They then cut up his body and ate part of it, before selling some of it to a kiosk that sold doner kebabs [gyro] and pies.
Investigators who searched the kiosk found no trace of the human remains, an investigator in Perm told Komsomolskaya Pravda daily on Wednesday.
