"Nobody ran away. 'Brelok' took him (comrade) out and then ate him for two f*cking weeks," a speaker identified by HUR as a commander of a reconnaissance unit from Russia's 68th Motorized Rifle Division can be heard saying in the intercept.

Why do you think they knew beforehand?

Did he wear a "cannibal and proud" shirt?

Probably get hired directly from a prison where he served his life sentence
