US man with necrophili­a wish nabbed

-

ATEXAN has been arrested after advertisin­g online that he wanted to try necrophili­a and cannibalis­m with a young girl.

Alexander Barter, 21, was arrested after an undercover cop posing as a father willing to offer his daughter responded to the post on the dark web, police in Florida said on Tuesday.

“It’s probably the most unusual and the most disgusting case I’ve ever seen,” Wayne Ivey, the sheriff of Brevard County in Florida, told a press conference.

The investigat­ion began when a Brevard County police officer noticed a bizarre ad on the internet.

“I’d like to try necrophili­a and cannibalis­m and see how it feels to take a life,” Barter’s post read.

The officer contacted Barter and made out that he was a man willing to make his underage daughter available to him.

“I’m not into role playing. I want to actually rape, kill and cannibalis­e her,” Barter warned as he accepted the man’s offer.

The officer travelled to Texas to meet Barter, who put up no fight as he was arrested on October 19.

He even thanked the police for preventing him from going ahead with the plan, because he said he could not control himself.

Barter faces charges including criminal solicitati­on and conspiracy to commit capital murder.
