Italian charged with killing Irishman in chess row
An Italian man allegedly cut open his Dublin landlord's chest and tried to eat his heart following a fight over a chess match.
Saverio Bellante, 34, was charged Monday with murder. Police say he admitted his guilt after being arrested Sunday at the home he shared with Tom O'Gorman, a policy researcher for a conservative Catholic think tank in Ireland.
Pathologists said the 39-year-old victim suffered dozens of severe knife wounds to his head and chest, which had been cut fully open. Ireland's senior pathologist determined that the heart remained, but a lung was missing.
Police offered no explanation for what happened to the lung. Evidence suggested that O'Gorman's prone head and body also were bludgeoned with a dumbbell.
Bellante called police to report the killing. He claimed to officers that he had cut open O'Gorman's chest and tried to eat his heart after a dispute over a move in a chess match the two had been playing.
I'll bet it was over castling that one can cause any man to go batshit.What is going on in Ireland not too long ago I had another Irishman going cannibal I'll have to research and see if there are any others.Then we will know if there is a pattern.
