A BREAKING Bad obsessed murderer who hacked up the body of his victim and dissolved it in an acid bath has been jailed for a minimum of 24 years.
Stefano Brizzi (50) could spend the rest of his life behind bars over the killing of Inverness man Gordon Semple after he was sentenced for the crime this morning.
Satanist Brizzi was convicted last month at the Old Bailey in London of strangling and dismembering the Inverness-born policeman and then dissolving his remains in acid.
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 show Breaking Bad 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 London flat on April 7.
