Former Mr Gay UK Anthony Morley, 36, from Bexley Place, Leeds, was sentenced to life in jail after he was found guilty at Leeds Crown Court of murdering Damian Oldfield in April this year.

Morley slashed 33-year-old Mr Oldfield's throat before stabbing him multiple times and cutting sections of flesh from his body.

Sentencing Morley, Judge James Stewart, QC, said this was "one of the most gruesome murders" he had ever encountered.

He told Morley: "Not only did you murder your victim by cutting his throat and stabbing him but you cut him up, cooked him and ate part of him.

"Before this case I had associated cannibalism with eras long gone, with the tale of Robinson Crusoe. No longer.

"You have plumbed depths rarely encountered in our court."

As Judge Stewart set out how long Morley was to be behind bars, there was applause from the public gallery and a shout of "murderer".

Morley stood in the dock with his head bowed as he was sent down.

The judge said it was a cold-blooded and savagely executed murder.
