Issei Sagawa
The story of Issei Sagawa, a small,shy man who became a celebrity in his native country, is like the plot-line of a perverse japanese movie. For Issei it was a cannibal. On the evening of June 11th 1981, while studying in Paris, he invited a fellow-student called Renee Hartevelt to his flat to help him with some translation. At home point during the evening, he asked her to have sex with him and when she refuse, he calmly shot her in the back of the neck with a .22 rifle, undressed her and had sex with her corpse instead.
Then in what he called 'an expression of love', he began eat her. He cut slices of flesh from her buttocks and consumed them raw, shuddering with delight. Later he cut her body into pieces, taking photograph and reserving choice cuts of meat along the way, and finally stuffed what remained into two suitcases, which he set off by taxi to dump into a lake in the Bois de Boulogne.
At the last minute, though, scared off by passers - by, he abandoned the suitcases and fled. The Police were called; and soon found not only Renee's mutilated corpse, but also the taxi driver who had driven him. Issei's rifle - not to mention his photograph and his hoard of fresh meat - was quickly found in his flat, and he was arrested.
His confessions was ready enough. A game of Giants and Cannibals played by his father and uncle at birthday partie, he said, had left him as a child with morbid fear of being eaten; and this fear had been transmuted during odolescence into an obsession with the idea of eating women. But he never came to trisl. Instead he was declared insane and held in a mental asylum in Paris until May 1984, when he was returned to Japan under an agreement betweeh the two countries - an agreement which happened to coincide with the signing of a contract between a Japanese company of which Issei's father was president and a French conglomerate.
In Japan, where a book of his letters about the murder had been published, Issei quickly became a star; and after little more than a year, he was released fron the Tokyo mental hospital to which he'd been confined, over the considerable objections of the hospital's own deputy superintendant. In a magazine interview shortly after his release, he confessed that he still dreamed of eating another women's flesh - though this time, he said, with her consent. He went on to have a succesfull career as a journalistand television personality in Japan.
