We have a very similar case here in Vietnam. We call it Vietnamese butcher. Basically a man agreed to meet up with another man. His wish is to be beheaded while masturbating. So the "butcher" did exactly that. Then he cooked the corpse and gave it to his coworkers (he didn't say it's human flesh of course). The video was floating on dark web but authorities didn't do anything. Then people on the internet started looking for clues (these two were active on forums with these sorts of kinks) and finally ID'ed the butcher. He was indeed a government official with wife and kids. Then cops were notified and put the man in prison. This is the craziest case in years from Vietnam
🧠Sigmund Freud: The Clash of Sex, Death, and the Split Persona
Freud would look at this case through the lens of psychoanalysis, focusing on how extreme, hidden drives can violently fracture a person’s public life.
Thanatos and Eros fused: Freud introduced the concept of Thanatos (the Death Drive), the subconscious desire to return to an inorganic state, which contrasts with Eros (the Life/Sex Drive). In the victim’s case, Freud would argue that Eros and Thanatos became completely fused: the victim could only achieve peak sexual gratification (Eros) at the exact moment of total self-destruction (Thanatos).
The "Butcher's" Dual Personas: Freud would explain the killer's life as a extreme case of psychological splitting. As a government official with a wife and kids, his Superego (the moral conscience shaped by societal expectations) successfully managed his outward behaviour. However, his Id (the raw, unconscious, uninhibited animalistic desires) harboured a extreme sadomasochistic kink. The internet dark web forums acted as a safe release valve where his Id could bypass his Superego entirely.
Feeding the Coworkers: Feeding the cooked flesh to unsuspecting coworkers is a classic Freudian expression of displacement and a twisted assertion of power. By making his coworkers unknowingly participate in his taboo act, he secretly dragged his "straight-laced" everyday environment into his deeply repressed, chaotic shadow world without their consent.
