British chef jailed for cannibalism
A British chef, a former Mr. Gay UK, who killed his boyfriend and then cooked a section of his flesh was sentenced to life in prison yesterday.
Anthony Morley, 36, will have to spend at least 30 years in prison for slashing Damian Oldfield's throat in April this year, stabbing him multiple times and cutting off portions of his flesh.
The court heard that Morley then cooked a piece of flesh in fresh herbs and olive oil before chewing it.
"Before this case I had associated cannibalism with eras long gone, with the tale of Robinson Crusoe," Judge James Stewart said, describing the case as "one of the most gruesome murders" he had ever dealt with.
"This was, in my judgment, a cold-blooded, savagely executed murder, carried out by cutting his throat as he lay in your bed and, when he fell to the floor, you stabbed him repeatedly and ferociously," he said.
