Cops uncovered human remains packed inside a freezer along with meat in jars as they uncovered the grisly crimes.

Police raided an apartment in Krasnodar, southern Russia, and uncovered at least eight body parts and grim photos of meals prepared by the suspected cannibals.

Dmitry Bakshaev, 35, and his wife Natalia, 42, have confessed to the crimes, reports Russian media.

The couple were arrested after a mobile phone was found containing pictures of a man posing with human body parts.

Photos found show a human head being served on a dinner plate and decorated with oranges.

Other images show human remains picked in a jar and a man with a human hand sticking out his mouth.

Police are said to have uncovered further pictures while searching the property.

The "cannibal family" lived in the hostel of the Military Aviation Academy that belongs to the Russian Defence Ministry.

A worker said: "Each time we tried to enter their room, they started wild shouting and crying."

Inside the flat police are reported to have found seven packs of human body parts in the freezer.

There were also 19 samples of human skins, and “meat” preserved in jars in the cellar.

Another bag was discovered full of body parts, along with a bag full of a woman’s possessions.

Investigative committee official Natalia Smyatskaya said a criminal investigation has been launched into the death of one woman.

Cops are checking the discovered “meat” to link to the 29 other alleged murders.

The pair is alleged to have used ether and the Russian drug Corvalol to make their victims sleep.

The smell of the drug reeked from their room, according to neighbours.

Police also released a picture of one of their suspected victims, but she was not named.

Earlier this year a village full of cannibals was uncovered in South Africa.
