Evil Dmitry Malyshev, 36, had been jailed after he fried a heart of one of the men that he killed, which he then seasoned with herbs and cooked with vegetables before eating
A cannibal killer hailed a Russian ‘war hero’ has been allowed home from the frontline as Vladimir Putin annuls the remaining 17 years of his sentence.
There is fear in a village near Volgograd after evil Dmitry Malyshev, 36, came home wounded from the conflict. He had been jailed for frying the heart of one of the three men he killed, which he seasoned with herbs and cooked with vegetables before eating.
He filmed his sickening dismemberment of the victim, a migrant, aged 46, as well as the cooking and eating of his human meal. Earlier he had gunned down two businessmen with a machine gun.
Malyshev was jailed for 25 years for “murder of two people with particular cruelty as part of a criminal gang, banditry, theft and illegal trafficking of weapons and ammunition, preparation for the murder of police officers, robbery and eating the heart of the last [third] victim”.
But he was freed to fight for Putin in the war under a scheme which has allowed murderers and rapists along with other hardened criminals to fight in the bloody war unleashed by the dictator. He took up arms for a special Defence Ministry unit called Storm V.
Now he is back in home village Rakhinka, revealed v1 media. Village administrator head Fyodor Kadovba said: “I spoke with him personally.”
He had war wounds to his jaw and hand, and will only go back to fight if he recovers sufficiently. “The day before yesterday I saw him in a shop, and we said hello,” said Kadovba.
The Kremlin requires all freed prisoners who fought in the war to be treated as “heroes” who are part of the “new elite” of Russia. A new picture of the cannibal shows him wearing sunglasses, relaxing with a drink by a swimming pool which is seen in the reflection.
During a crime reconstruction Malyshev told investigators details of his cannibalism. “I hit him several times on the head with a nail gun and cut out his heart,” he said.
“I reached in with my hand and pulled out the heart…I sliced it here, the heart’s on the table…
“Just sliced it. Then I put it in a frying pan and started frying it….Then I ate it. Well, well, well, we’re frying human flesh.
“Here we have a heart.” He told how he “added the onions and the seasoning….
“Now I’m gonna stir it in. It’s going to be ******* awesome.”
A comment on the story on his release said: “I advise everyone to print out his photo and carry it with you just in case you suddenly find yourself on a bench next to him.”
Another read: “I wonder who he’ll eat next time?” At the front, Malyshev is known to have become close to another freed convict, rapist and killer Alexander Maslennikov, 38.
He used an axe and a meat grinder to cut up and mince the bodies of two women he invited to his flat for a pizza, before “feeding human flesh to the dogs”. They wanted “to preserve the traditional values of Russia” by fighting for Putin, said Malyshev.
Hundreds of convicts released to fight in the war have been rearrested after committing new crimes when they return home after serving in the army. Maslennikov, a convicted rapist, was jailed for 23 years for killing two women sales assistants Daria Labutina, 29, and Olga Shaposhnikova, 28.
Putin released him from jail 18-and-a-half years early.
