A man who mutilated people and streamed it online has been given a life sentence in the United Kingdom. Marius Gustavson – nickname: the ‘eunuch maker’ – is said to have earned more than 300,000 pounds (348,000 euros) from his website, according to British media.
The 46-year-old Norwegian was involved in extreme body modifications, including offering castrations. According to the BBC, his website showed videos showing drastic procedures being carried out in apartments and hotel rooms. Gustavson did this together with his accomplices, who were not medically qualified to do so.
According to the prosecutor, there is also evidence of cannibalism. Testicles were allegedly included in a lunch salad, body parts were kept as “trophies” or sold to others. During the trial, video footage was shown of a man branded with the letters EM, short for eunuch maker.
116 euros per year
Gustavson’s website attracted tens of thousands of visitors from all over the world. They could pay 100 pounds (116 euros) per year for a special VIP subscription. Victims were promised a share of the proceeds from videos. Justice says that victims were often vulnerable people who allowed themselves to be manipulated by the Norwegian.
The judge called the practices “heinous” and “extremely dangerous. Gustavson ultimately received a life sentence, of which he must serve at least 22 years. Several accomplices also received years in prison.
