Killer cannibal who 'wants to taste human flesh again' is free to roam the streets

A cannibal from Japan has said he "wants to taste human flesh again" before he dies after being released from prison for murdering and eating a woman in 1981.

On June 11 in 1981, the then 32-year-old Issei Sagawa, nicknamed Kobe Cannibal, shot a girl he knew from class at Sorbonne University and had invited round to his Paris apartment in the neck with a rifle

After killing 25-year-old Renee Hartevelt while she was sitting reading poetry, Sagawa actually passed out, reports the Daily Star.
