Man Steals Corpses from Hospital and Public Cemetery for Cooking and Eating; Assembles Human Skin Mask with Professional Techniques

A 30-year-old man working as a patient transporter (commonly known as a stretcher-bearer) at a local hospital in Budapest, Hungary, has been exposed for stealing corpses from both the hospital and public cemeteries. Police discovered a large number of human limbs, skulls, and organs at his residence. Even more horrifying, the man admitted that due to an 'irresistible obsession with human anatomy,' he had repeatedly used the stolen human flesh as ingredients, 'directly cooking and consuming them.'

According to foreign media reports, Hungarian police recently received a tip-off stating that this 30-year-old man working in a medical institution exhibited extremely bizarre behavior and had a perverted fetish for collecting human remains in his private space.

Investigators immediately launched an operation, conducting a raid on his residence and workplace. Multiple human skulls covered with soil and moss, a blackened severed hand, an intact lower leg, and a large amount of scattered human bones were recovered.

The most chilling discovery for the police was the presence of a 'real human skin mask, preserved and reassembled,' in the apartment, crafted with highly professional techniques.

In addition, police also found a glass jar containing a mysterious organ (a heart) at the scene, which forensic experts are currently examining to determine whether the organ is of human or animal origin.

A Hungarian police spokesperson stated that the suspect has an extremely twisted and pathological fascination with anatomy and pathology. During intensive police interrogation, he admitted being fatally attracted to human limbs and personally confessed to repeatedly taking these collected body parts into the kitchen, using them as everyday ingredients for cooking and consumption, effectively enacting a real-life 'cannibal'.

Preliminary investigations found that, in addition to exploiting his hospital job—transporting patients and accessing the mortuary—to steal parts of unclaimed bodies, he is also suspected of acting as a 'grave robber,' sneaking into multiple abandoned cemeteries late at night in Hungary and neighboring Slovakia to dig up graves and steal long-deceased corpses.

The man is currently under formal criminal detention by police on charges of 'illegal possession and use of human remains' and other serious crimes. All human limbs and organs found at the scene have been handed over to the forensic department for DNA comparison and source identification, in order to quickly establish the exact identities of the remains.
