Pelajar PhD Homisid Aka Hannibal Masak & Makan 3 Mangsa!

Man who killed and ate victims gets life

The victims: Blamires, Armitage and Rushworth

Stephen Griffith said he was Osama Bin Laden. He seems to be a cross between

Hannibal Lecter and Jack The Ripper. Stephen Griffiths who calls himself the

"Crossbow Cannibal" shot his victims, Robin Hood style, before dismembering them,

cooking and eating parts of their bodies. Griffiths told detectives in the United

Kingdom he cooked flesh from his first two women victims and ate the third

one raw. All three were chopped up in the bathroom, which Griffiths described

as a slaughterhouse.

Griffiths, 40, who was obsessed with serial killers, murdered prostitutes Suzanne

Blamires, Shelley Armitage and Susan Rushworth near his home in Bradford,

West Yorkshire. Griffiths, who pleaded guilty to the murders at Leeds Crown Court,

was caught when a caretaker at the flats where he lived saw horrific CCTV footage

of Blamires's final moments. When arrested, Griffiths told police "I've killed loads"

and claimed he had eaten some of Blamires's flesh, adding: "That's part of the magic".

The caretaker made a grim discovery while reviewing CCTV footage, that showed

Blamires running out of Griffiths's flat with her killer in pursuit.. She was then seen

being dragged along the floor by her leg by Griffiths.

Smith said Griffiths was seen to have something in his hand. The woman was then

shot with a crossbow before Griffiths "gestured" by holding a finger up to the camera.

Smith told the court how Griffiths told arresting officers: "I'm Osama bin Laden".

The prosecutor said he told police officers: "I've killed a lot more than Suzanne

Blamires - I've killed loads." Smith said Griffiths had admitted killing Blamires in

the flat and dismembering her by hand. He said power tools had been used on

the other victims. Smith told the court 81 different pieces of Ms Blamires were

found in or by a nearby river.

The prosecutor said Blamires' body was reconstructed and pathologists were

able to piece together how she died. They decided she had not been sexually

assaulted. The court was told Griffiths possessed a number of "disturbing video

recordings and images." One image showed Armitage lying dead in the bath.

Another, unidentified victim, was lying bound on the living room floor with green

twine. At one point video footage showed the hands of the defendant fondling the

victim's bottom.

Smith said furniture and the walls in the flat were splattered with blood. He told police

he was studying for a PhD in homicide, had "cut himself off from society" and that

a "civil war" was going on in his head.
