Issei Sagawa - The Murder of Renee Hartevelt"

Issei Sagawa - also known as The Kobe Cannibal, is a Japanese murderer, cannibal, and necrophile known for the killing of Renée Hartevelt in Paris in 1981. Sagawa murdered Hartevelt then mutilated, cannibalized, and raped her corpse over several days.

Sagawa was arrested just a few days later but was released after two years of pre-trial detention after being found legally insane and deported to Japan. His release was due to a legal technicality and for the last four decades he has been a free man, able to travel and wor in his native Japan where he has received international publicity and been allowed to make an income from selling his story.

He still has the urge to cannibalize another person before he dies. He is in his 70's and in poor health.
