A twisted Hungarian hospital worker allegedly stole and stockpiled human remains from his workplace and abandoned cemeteries — and admitted to eating some of them.
The 30-year-old man from Budapest was arrested by Hungary’s National Bureau of Investigation on suspicion of the illegal use of human remains last Wednesday, after investigators allegedly uncovered a trove of body parts inside his apartment, police said in a statement.
Inside the house or horrors was a prepared human face, facial skin, a lower leg, a brain, a hand, skulls, a heart in a jar, and bones stuffed in a suitcase, cops alleged in the statement written in Hungarian.
Forensic experts are still working to determine whether the heart belongs to a human or an animal.
The sicko, whose name has not been released, told officers during questioning that he was “particularly attracted to human body parts,” and had prepared and eaten them as food, police wrote.
The alleged cannibal works as a patient transporter at a Budapest Hospital and “is passionate about anatomy and pathology, and likes to dissect animals,” the department’s statement added.
Investigators believe he stole the remains from his workplace and abandoned cemeteries across Hungary and neighboring Slovakia, but are still working to trace exactly where the body parts came from — and who they belonged to.
The alleged grave robber even professed his macabre hobby of collecting bones to his family and friends — and proudly snapped photos of his collection, cops added.
Authorities released video of Hungarian investigators cuffing the man with his face blurred, leading him out of a building into a police car.
Police have seized his computer, laptops, tablets, mobile phones, SIM cards, and data cards as part of the investigation.
The range of alleged crimes could expand after investigators determine more about where and how he exhumed the body parts, authorities added.
