A cannibal dug up body parts and used them to reconstruct a face made from human skin which he flaunted in a trophy case at his home, as police images have been revealed.
Horrifying photos show the criminal’s lair which he decorated with bones hanging down the curtains and kept a case full of the morbid remains.
The man, 30, from Budapest, Hungary, admitted he is attracted to body parts and even cooked some of them to dine on.
During a search of the man’s home, investigators found skulls, a complete lower leg and a hand, as well as a reconstruction of a human face prepared from facial skin. Some bones were also found stored in a suitcase.
A heart in a jar was also seized, which police are trying to determine whether it was of human or animal origin.
He took the parts from his workplace at a hospital, where he is employed as an orderly.
The cannibal also confessed to digging up the parts from abandoned cemeteries in Hungary and Slovakia.
Police also seized photos the man took of his ‘collection’.

The cannibal was arrested last week after police received information about his crimes.
He is now under judicial supervision and the public prosecutor’s office is investigating him on suspicion of disturbing the peace of the dead.
The man is ‘passionate about anatomy and pathology, and likes to dissect animals,’ according to authorities.
Police seized the man’s computer, laptops, tablets, mobile phones, SIM and data cards.
All of the recovered body parts will be examined by forensic experts, police said.
They added that the range of alleged crimes could expand after the origin of all the body parts is determined.
