ST. PETERSBURG — A Russian court has convicted two men of murdering and eating a 16-year-old schoolgirl in January.
The St. Petersburg City Court says it sentenced a 21-year-old Goth-rock musician to 19 years in a maximum-security prison.
It says his 20-year-old accomplice was sentenced to 18 years in a maximum-security prison.
The court says in a statement released today that the musician lured his victim to his apartment building, where he and his friend drowned her in a bathtub and cooked parts of her body in an oven.
The men pleaded not guilty, and in earlier testimony they said they had killed the woman because they “were hungry.”
