Jews and ritual murder.
Law enforcement officers found Iana Kasian's lifeless body on 26 May 2016 in an apartment that the couple had recently shared in West Hollywood, California. They found Kasian's body lying on the bed in the master bedroom, with Blake at her side. Prosecutors said there were indications that he had been lying next to her body, which had been cleaned, for some time before police arrived.[13] Kasian was found mutilated, drained of blood and lying in their bed. The discovery was made following a barricade stand-off between Leibel and police officers. Leibel was subsequently charged with murder, torture, mayhem and aggravated mayhem, to which he pleaded not guilty. Their infant daughter was in the care of Kasian's mother who was visiting from Ukraine and staying in a nearby apartment.
Kasian's entire scalp was traumatically absent and was not found, was not present with the body. Her skull had been stripped down to the surface of the bone … There was no scalp present except for little bits in the back of the neck... portions of the right side of her face were torn away including the right ear and part of the posterior face on the (right) side, all the way down to the jawline... there were quite a number of bruises and abrasions on the face, primarily on the left side, the left cheek, and left jaw area, a number of bruises and abrasion, including one which turned out to be a human bite mark... she had lived for at least eight hours approximately after receiving the scalp injury and the bruise to the collarbone... I have never seen this before. And I doubt if hardly any forensic pathologists in this country or abroad have even seen this outside of, perhaps, wartime... So it's extremely rare...
