A COLD, calculating killer who carried out the “grotesque” murder of an Inverness man will be sentenced in London on Monday.
Breaking Bad-obsessed Satanist Stefano Brizzi was convicted last month at the Old Bailey in London of strangling and dismembering Inverness-born policeman Gordon Semple and then dissolving his remains in an acid bath.
Stefano Brizzi boiled and roasted parts of PC Semple’s body and attempted to eat them with chopsticks.
But the 50-year-old could not bring himself to consume the body and turned to a method featured in cult TV Breaking Bad show when he tried to make the parts vanish in the bathtub.
The killer, who worked as a web developer for merchant bank Morgan Stanley, had met his 59-year-old victim for an S&M session through the gay dating app Grindr.
PC Semple, who was on duty when he arranged to meet Brizzi, was reported missing by his partner on April 2. Police found his remains at Brizzi’s flat on April 7.
