Helsinki - A Finnish court jailed a 24-year-old man for life yesterday for the murder of a male friend in a Satanist ritual involving torture, cannibalism and necrophilia. The court in Hyvinkaa also sentenced a woman (17) to eight years and a man (20) to three years.

The court said the three had listened to heavy metal music and drunk home-made alcohol before attacking their 23-year-old friend, whom the prosecutor said was also committed to satanism. They ate parts of their victim and sexually abused the body before sawing it into pieces.
