‘Cannibal nurse bought axe to use on girl’

A nurse with a cannibalism fetish bought an axe he planned to use on a girl he believed to be just 14 years old before eating her, a court has heard.

Dale Bolinger, 57, used the Dark Fetish Network to discuss beheading and eating women and girls for sexual gratification, a trial at Canterbury Crown Court was told.

On September 17 2012, the day before he was due to meet his alleged victim, Bolinger bought an axe from Broadstairs, Kent, and told the girl all she needed to do was get on a train, the court heard.
