Zhang Yongming, also
known as the cannibal monster, was responsible for the murder of 11 Jinning
County men and boys in the Yunnan Province of southwest China, between 2008 and
2012. Although he had been convicted of murder and mutilation and sentenced to
death in his mid-twenties, his sentence was reduced and he walked free from
prison in 1997, where he was given a plot of land and a monthly cheque by the
government to help him integrate back into society.
Zhang Yongming just
couldn’t seem to keep a lid on his blood lust, and eventually, would begin to
kill again in 2008.
He would allegedly strangle
his victims and cannibalize them before feeding the remaining flesh to his
dogs, as well as selling it under the guise of ostrich meat at the local food
market. What he could not sell off he would destroy by burning and burying in
his vegetable garden. The cannibal monster
was apprehended early May in 2012 after reports of missing males around a
stretch of road nearby his house. Upon investigation of the property the police
found items belonging to the final missing victim, 19 year old Han Yao, including
credit cards and a cellphone. They also allegedly discovered plastic bags
containing bones, dried and cured flesh and eyeballs preserved in jars which
resembled traditional bottled snake wine.
He was executed in
2013 and showed no remorse for his crimes.
