A 50-year-old man of Italian
origin, Stefano Brizzi, has been found dead in a British jail
after being convicted of murdering and dismembering a police
officer. The body of Brizzi, who was sentenced to life in prison
in 2016 for murdering 59-year-old Gordon Semple, was found at
Belmarsh Prison, south London. Brizzi lured Semple to his flat
for a gay encounter before strangling him, dismembering his body
and attempting to dissolve it in a bath of acid. He was also
accused of eating parts of Semple's body. Media reports that
Brizzi committed suicide have not been confirmed.
