10 Most Horrific Cannibal Killers Of All Time

10. Ilshat Kuzikov

In February of 1997 Ilshat Kuzikov was arrested in St Petersburg for the murder of three of his drinking buddies over the span of four years, starting in 1992 and ending in 1996. 

After further details came to light it was later found that he had not only killed his friends but had also sampled their flesh. In fact, his cannibalism appeared to be the main motive for the killings, with Kuzikov stating that he would ask the friend over to his flat for a nightcap before stabbing them to death, eating parts of their body and then disposing of them in a garbage dump.

He had even developed a recipe for his uncommon tastes:

"First, you fry the meat in one saucepan in a little oil; liver is best. Then, in another pot, you fry onions. Put them together with either stock or water and simmer for half an hour."

It's a chillingly cold recipe that could only have come from the mind of a madman and so it was that Ilshat Kuzikov was found to be insane when he was brought to trial and he was sentenced to life in closed psychiatric confinement.
