Dimitri Diatchenko, 46, cooked and ate the rabbit, sending the woman pictures of the act.

According to a statement from the district attorney's office, "Diatchenko skinned the pet, cooked it and ate half of it, while sending her step-by-step pictures of what he did," reported News Limited.

When she returned home he threatened to do the same to her.
