WARNING: This story is not for sensitive readers. A cannibal in Michigan, the United States (US) has been convicted for the gruesome murder of another man he had met on the gay dating app Grindr.
A court found 53-year-old Mark Latunski guilty on Wednesday, 20 October 2022 – just a month after he not only admitted to savagely killing Kevin Bacon, but eating a part of him as well.
Presiding Judge Matthew Stewart described Latunski’s crime as one of “cold calculation” – despite a claim by his defence lawyer that he hadn’t planned on killing Bacon. Mary Chartier further told the court that her client even let police officers enter his home, all while knowing there was a dead body in his basement.
“A person in Mr Latunski’s shoes, in his mindset, has to have fully evaluated the consequences of the killing,” she is quoted as having told Mlive.com.
KEVIN BACON’S GRUESOME MURDER
In addition to murdering Kevin Bacon, Mark Latunski is said to have slit his throat, hung him in a basement and eaten his genitals. According to police, Bacon was found hanging naked by his ankles from the ceiling in Latunski’s home in Bennington Township on 28 December 2019.
According to court documents, Latunski had a twisted sexual fetish which involved lots of violence and unfortunately for Bacon, a 25-year-old hair stylist, he was made the sacrificial lamb in a crime that shook the local community.
“What was released shows that Kevin had a dark side. He obviously got into something that he wasn’t prepared for. I’m going to remember him how everyone else remembers him, that he’s a good person who was passionate and cares for people,” the victim’s father Karl Bacon told FOX Detroit back in 2020.
Bacon met Latunski on Christmas Eve in 2019 after the two allegedly connected on Grindr. He was reported missing the following day. Court documents claim Latunski would sometimes stop taking medication for mental health issues, an aspect which at some point had turned the case on its head.
