Sergey Mamontov Details Grisly 2012 Butchering Of Roommate

One year ago, police arrested Sergey Mamontov after he confessed to brutally murdering his roommate for being noisy. When police first arrived at the scene, they were horrified  to discover victim Aleksandr Zilbergleyt’s body parts strewn about the apartment in pieces. This week, testifying in court, Mamontov told jurors the full account of his grisly deeds and presented a bizarre defense of his actions, according to a report in the New York Daily News.

The details of Mamontov’s testimony were horrifying. Claiming that his roommate was a drunkard who accidentally killed himself by falling on his head, Mamontov went about covering up his death. Inspired by detective novels, Mamontov chopped up Zilbergleyt’s body into thousands of pieces that he crammed into bleach bottles. He threw his roommate’s fingers into Sheepshead Bay (disgusting) and ran his brain through a meat grinder.

Explaining why he didn’t call the police considering his proclaimed innocence in his roommate’s death, Mamontov claimed he had previously asked the police to mediate an ongoing feud with his roommate but they had refused to intervene. Because of this, Mamontov either didn’t trust the police or believed that they would not care about his now dead roommate.

“I had to make it a secret,” the Daily News reported Mamontov testifying.

Here is a friendly tip: if your roommate dies accidentally through no fault of your own, do not make it a secret. Also do not try to dispose of the body yourself, and for the love of God, do not put their brain through a meat grinder and throw their fingers into Sheepshead Bay. Not only are you going to look guilty, you are going to appear irredeemably insane.
