MOSCOW, Feb 7 (Reuter) - A Russian has admitted making human ravioli out of a well-known criminal and eating it during a drinking session with two friends in the Siberian town of Kemerevo, Interfax news agency said on Wednesday.
It quoted local police as saying homeless people rummaging through a rubbish dump had discovered a human head and other body parts which were later found to be the remains of Vladimir Laptin, a criminal who had been convicted many times.
The agency said a man later confessed to police that he had killed Laptin and used his flesh to stuff ``pelmeni'' -- a version of the Italian pasta dish, ravioli.
``The murderer admitted he had cut Laptin's corpse into pieces, thrown the head on a rubbish heap, tossed the bones around the hostel where he lived and made pelmeni out of what was left which he ate with two drinking partners,'' it said.
Interfax said the three had been arrested but did not say if any charges had been brought.
