22-year-old Arkady Zverev admitted a sexual relationship with the 12-year-old girl, who he described as his ‘girlfriend’, potentially a victim of online grooming.

Victim: The dismembered remains of Alexander Popovich was found in his home in a village 60 miles from St. Petersburg, Russia
A schoolgirl at the centre of a horrific pedophile cannibal murder in Russia has told detectives how she used a frying pan to cook and eat the heart of the man she allegedly killed along with her 22-year-old ‘boyfriend’.
The 12-year-old identified only as ‘Valeria’, reportedly told investigators the victim’s heart was ‘too sweet’, but that his brains ‘turned out to be much more tasty’.
Valeria had run away from home with Arkady Zverev, 22, and has admitted to taking part in the murder and dismembering of their landlord Alexander Popovich, 21, say police.

She was detained alongside Zverev, who also admitted killing Popovich, and confessed to a sexual relationship with the underage girl.
The 12-year-old child told officers she had stabbed the man who took them in as lodgers in his apartment, after he went to bed.
Leningrad based news agency 47news.ru, quotes Valeria as admitting that she then opened the victim’s abdomen with a knife because she ‘always wanted to see what was inside there’, according to law enforcement officers.
Next she says she cut meat out of his chest which she fried, and Zverev used an axe to behead their victim, and chop off his arms.
She put his severed head in the microwave oven in the ground floor flat, Zverev claimed.
The pre-teen girl had been reported missing by her parents ten days earlier in her home city of Sochi, about 1,500 miles away. It is believed she was the victim of online grooming
It is unknown how and where she met the axeman but she posted a message on her social media saying: ‘I love one stalker.
‘I won’t give him away to anyone, he is only mine. I do not need anybody else.’
A report in the macabre killing by Russian police stated: ‘A man and an underage girl are suspected of the cruel murder and dismembering a 21-year-old citizen of Novinka village of Leningrad region.
‘The investigators are also checking the information about suspects eating body parts of the killed man.’
The man and girl told police: ‘There was nothing else to eat.’
Police said the man had been beheaded and his arms were cut off.
Axe wounds were visible on his chest and parts of his heart and abdominal organs had been removed. An axe was found near the body.
‘The contents of the frying pan did not look like the fresh meat found at a supermarket,’ said one officer.
The pair who had been living with the victim in his apartment as renters, were detained after they tried to set the flat on fire, according to police.
The home owner, Alexander Popovich [photo], was discovered murdered with an axe, before it was then used to mutilate and decapitate his body. The pair had admitted that they cooked the brains

Neighbours saw smoke then the alleged killers climbing out of a window of the flat in a wooden village house.
The victim’s brother said: ‘I climbed inside through a window.
‘It was a mess there, as if the apartment had been robbed. Then I saw something covered with a blanket and in blood.
‘I did not know it was him, I rushed out. I was in panic. My only thought was – please don’t let it be him.
‘I called a neighbour, and he forced open the door. With two neighbours, a man and a woman, we got inside. I immediately understood that it was my brother there.’
The suspected pedophile killer admitted to police that the 12-year-old was his ‘girlfriend’ and he admitted they had sexual relations.
He faces charges of murder and dismembering the body, with a maximum 15 years in jail. Authorities say he will also be tried for having sex with an underage child, which carries a further ten-year maximum sentence.
The 12-year-old accomplice is under the age of criminal responsibility in Russia. She has been put into care at the Centre for Underage Criminals of St Petersburg, a juvenile reform institution.
