Tamara Samsonova is a 68-year-old caregiver living in St. Petersburg, Russia. She's also (allegedly) a serial killing cannibal. The "Granny Ripper," as she's been dubbed, is feared to have killed 11 people and eaten their remains within a 20-year period. She was taken into custody after police found some of the remains of 79-year-old Calentina Ulanova scattered about the neighborhood. When in custody, Samsonova confessed to killing and dismembering the woman she was supposed to be caring for. She also told authorities that she disposed of the remains in plastic bags and put the head in a saucepan.

When officials went to check out Samsonova's residence they came across a shocking diary (written in English, German, and Russian) in which she confesses to murdering at least 10 other people, including two of her former tenants, one of which she said she cut up with a knife in a bathroom and scattered the body parts around the Frunzensky district of St. Petersburg.

The video above shows the alleged party carrying bags and a pot downstairs to take outside—it's up to you to deduce what's inside. Samsonova's husband, who went missing 10 years ago, is feared to be another victim. *chills*
