Fancy a kebab?

The Times of India reports the shocking news that:

"MOSCOW: Russian police have arrested three homeless people suspected of eating a 25-year-old man they had butchered and selling other bits of the corpse to a local kebab house.

Suspicions were raised when dismembered parts of a human body were found near a bus stop in the outskirts of the Russian city of Perm.

Three homeless men with previous criminal records have been arrested on suspicion of setting upon a foe with knives and a hammer before chopping up his corpse to eat, local investigators said.

The men have been charged with murder over the crime, which took place in a forested area of Perm, a city near the Ural Mountains located about 1400km east of Moscow. If convicted, they face up to 15 years in prison.

After carrying out the crime, the corpse was divided up: part was eaten and part was also sold to a kiosk selling kebabs and pies, the prosecutor-general's main investigative unit for the Perm region said in a statement on Friday.

It was not immediately clear from the statement if any of the corpse had been sold to customers. "

Sounds like an urban myth come true...
