Police in Moscow have arrested a man who dismembered an acquaintance and kept him in his fridge, eating the liver, investigators said on Tuesday.



Nikolai Shadrin has been arrested after police located the apartment where he killed a 40-year-old Muscovite, named as Ilya Yegorov, in early May.

"During the search of the apartment, tools used to dismember the victim and a human liver were found. Shadrin confessed to the crime and to having eaten part of his friend's liver," the Investigative Committee said in a statement.
