An infamous Japanese cannibal who raped, killed and ate a young Dutch student has died after he swerved spending a single day in jail for his horror crimes
Issei Sagawa, who earned himself the grim moniker of the " Kobe Cannibal " for the 1981 killing, has died aged 73.
Sagawa died of pneumonia on November 24 and was given a funeral attended only by relatives, with no public ceremony planned, his younger brother and a friend said in a statement.
