A 12-year-old 'cannibal' girl boasted to classmates she 'cooked and ate human flesh' with a 22-year-old man who called her his 'girlfriend'. 

The child - named Valeria - was involved in a high-profile cannibal and paedophile case in Russia after she last year absconded with Arkady Zverev.

He died in custody earlier this year ahead of his trial for murder, cannibalism and raping his child victim.

Angry parents have demanded the girl is expelled from school after she 'told classmates how she cooked and ate human flesh and other body parts'.

She told other students 'about what brains taste like', it is alleged.

Valeria was below the age of criminal responsibility and did not face legal action despite law enforcement sources saying she confessed to police how she used a frying pan to cook and eat the heart of the murdered man - saying the taste was 'too sweet' while 'the brains turned out to be much more tasty'.

The girl - present when victim Alexander Popovich, 21, was killed - was instead sent to an orphanage and a state school in Krasnodar region.

A parent said: 'No-one would have known her identity but for the fact that after a month at this school with our children, she started telling them details of what happened. She told them about the taste of human brains.'

Parents immediately protested to the headteacher and demanded the girl's exclusion.

A video shows a meeting attended by 100 irate parents with education chiefs and local leaders at the school in Medvedovskaya village.

'My child is afraid to go to school after talking to this girl,' said one mother.
