1/ A cannibal serial killer who is said to have murdered 13 people and filled his refrigerator with human flesh has been pardoned by Vladimir Putin and sent to fight in Ukraine. The decision has caused shock on Russian social media networks. ⬇️

2/ 44-year-old Denis Gorin from Aniva in the Sakhalin region has been tried three times for murder and cannibalism, most recently serving a 22-year sentence after being convicted of three murders in 2018. He appears to have signed a contract recently with the Russian MOD.

3/ He was first sentenced in 2003 along with his older brother Evgeniy for killing and eating an acquaintance, and also trying to force his wife and younger brother to eat the dead man (though both refused).

4/ Despite the seriousness of the crime, Denis Gorin only received a 10 year sentence and was released after 7 years for "exemplary behaviour". He returned to Aniva, and soon afterwards stabbed and ate the brother of a man with whom he had been imprisoned.

5/ Denis and Evgeniy Gorin committed two more murders in 2011 and 2012, though these were not discovered until 2017. Local people say at least nine more people were murdered, including a child, with the remains buried in a hole.

6/ One man who witnessed the detention of the brothers say that the arresting officers "opened the refrigerator, and it was filled to the brim with human meat! He told us right there how he cut meat from the legs of the dead, looked at the biceps to see if there was meat there."

7/ The Gorins only admitted three murders and were tried for offences including "eating the victim's flesh". Evgeniy Gorin was subsequently killed while in prison, but only five years after being sentenced, Denis Gorin was released and posted photos of himself in uniform.

8/ Gorin has reportedly been injured (a head wound is visible in his photograph) and is in hospital in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Dmitry, a former neighbour also serving in the army, says that Gorin has likely only survived this long because he is not serving with regular soldiers.

9/ "[The victims] have many relatives both in Aniva and Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk. Something tells me that Gorin won't be free for long. Since the authorities cannot provide punishment, the relatives will organise a lynching. What can I do? Maniacs are real."

10/ Gorin's release has prompted outrage on Russian social media networks. One user suggests settling released murderers "next to the castle [Putin's palace] in Sochi". Another suggests the Ukrainians should equip HIMARS with silver warheads and wooden stakes.

11/ This is not the first time that notorious murderers and even cannibals have been pardoned to fight in the war. Only this week, it became known that Putin had pardoned a Satanist cannibal, Nikolai Ogolobyak, who had killed and eaten four teenagers. /end
