A nurse in the UK has been found guilty of planning to kill and eat a 14-year-old girl to satisfy his cannibalism fetish.
It took jurors at Canterbury Crown Court three hours of deliberation to convict Dale Bolinger of trying to meet the teenager after sexually grooming her and promising to behead and eat her.
Mr Bolinger (58) brought an axe from a DIY store in Broadstairs, Kent, the day before he planned to meet the schoolgirl.
He used a fetish website to discuss beheading and eating women and girls for sexual gratification, the trial heard.
Bolinger told the girl in one online chat: "The idea of us making love and then eating you is a VERY great turn on!
"I have been called a very generous lover and I would be very generous to you before I prepped you for the table."
However, the teenager, a Mexican girl called "Eva", said to be living in Germany, failed to show up at Ashford International Station as planned.
Other charges
Before the trial, Bolinger admitted other charges, including administering a poison or noxious substance after he put a cloth soaked in dry cleaning fluid over his friend Urlene King's mouth in July 2010.
He also pleaded guilty to one count of making indecent pseudo photographs of children, and seven counts of publishing an obscene article.
