Russian cannibal and his 'meat grinder' killer friend who minced the bodies of ... trends now
Two of the vilest criminals released by Vladimir Putin to fight for him in Ukraine - a cannibal and a killer who dismembered his victims - joined forces on the frontline.
Evil Dmitry Malyshev, 36, had been jailed after frying the heart of one of three men he killed, which he seasoned with herbs and cooked with vegetables before eating.
Sickening rapist and killer Alexander Maslennikov, 38, 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'.
The pair were among hundreds of thousands of prisoners released to fight for a special Defence Ministry unit Storm V against Ukraine, and were pictured grinning together in military fatigues after being freed from jail by the dictator.
Putin calls his fighters in Ukraine the 'new elite' of Russia. Yet their crimes shows the bestiality among his forces invading Ukraine.

Malyshev had been 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 victim', a Tajik immigrant.
He and Maslennikov wanted 'to preserve the traditional values of Russia' in fighting for Putin, he said, according to V1 media.
'Alexander and I were serving sentences together and we both signed contracts with the Ministry of Defence in October 2023. We serve in Storm V.'
In his confession, Malyshev - pardoned and released 17 years early by the Russian dictator
