‘Woman helped stepbrother murder parents and have sex with their bodies before eating them’

A woman accused of helping her cannibal stepbrother murder their parents and have sex with their dead bodies before EATING them has broken her silence.

Police claimed that Karen Klein, 22, helped her twisted stepbrother Leandro Acosta dispose of their bodies - but she's revealed her side of the story.

Leandro Yamil Acosta, 25, has admitted to the sickening crime against Ricardo Ignacio Klein, 54, and his partner Miryam Esther Kowalczuk, 52, at their family home in the city of Pilar in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

But 22-year-old Karen Klein, Acosta's stepsister, was also arrested by police after they accused her of being involved.

However she was released yesterday when authorities agreed that she had acted under pressure and was fearing for her life.

She was asleep at the home when the murders took place.

Acosta killed the mother and father, before having sex with the bodies and eating a part of the dad's flesh.

He shot the pair dead with three bullets and, after performing his depraved acts, burned the bodies and fed the remains to the family's six dogs.

Speaking for the first time since being cleared, Klein said: "I did not kill. I have a clear conscience.

"My only mistake was not having denounced and I did not because [Acosta] was going to kill me and my brothers."

Monica Chirivin, Klein's lawyer, said that Leandro had told her he had felt "an orgasmic relief" after slaying his stepfather and his mother, and that he had "no regrets".

The court accepted that there was not enough evidence to charge her with the murder of her father and his partner.

Local media have also claimed that the stepsister and stepbrother were lovers.

At the scene police recovered £5,000, a 9mm revolver, a rifle, a machete, three hatchets, two shovels and a pitchfork.

When defending his actions Acosta claimed he was abused by the parents when he was younger.

Acosta said he was killing them to protect other children.
