A Norwegian individual, infamously dubbed the 'Eunuch Maker,' has been sentenced to life imprisonment in the United Kingdom for performing ritual castrations and other gruesome procedures, which he broadcasted live, earning substantial sums of money.
According to TV4 Nyheterna, the 46-year-old man gained notoriety by livestreaming these extreme surgeries to nearly 23,000 followers online, generating approximately $400,000 in the process.
The court heard that his group carried out various rituals, including castration and limb freezing, on a total of 58 men.
The judge condemned these acts as 'nothing less than human slaughter,' noting that many of the victims would require lifelong medical care due to the severity of their injuries.
This case has exposed a dark subculture where men voluntarily seek the amputation of their genitals.
Sky News reported that the convicted man kept the removed body parts as 'trophies' in a freezer and that there is substantial evidence to suggest that he cooked and consumed parts of these amputated organs.
It was also disclosed that he had kept his own penis in a box for several years.
The investigation into these acts began after one of the victims alerted the police, leading to further revelations and the eventual arrest and conviction of nine other men involved in the scheme.
The prosecutor described the activity as "unprecedented."
