HE dubbed himself “The Eunuch Maker”, carrying out extreme mutilations on troubled men with instruments designed for farm animals in rented hotel rooms and grotty London flats. But Marius Gustavson didn’t just perform the vile acts of butchery for his own sexual gratification.

The Norwegian - who was sent to jail in May 2024 - was the ringleader of a website on which 22,000 online subscribers tuned in to watch live-streamed videos of the brutal castrations. He headed a subculture obsessed with severing genitals, trading body parts, and even eating them - and pocketing hundreds of thousands of pounds in the process.

Yet despite his vile crimes, to many, Marius Gustavson was a hero - or even a god. It was the way for the victim to finally become the person they saw themselves as. All had felt as if they had consented to what Marius would do to them. Many even have no regrets about their castration.

But some came to realise how he had sucked them into his sick world - and paid the price. “That website made it feel normal. I still thought I was in control,” said one victim, Michael. “He then went to his wardrobe and brought out the clamps. “That was the moment I knew I’d screwed up.”.

Despite being sentenced to life in prison, Marius is unrepentant for his crimes. In a new documentary for Crime+Investigation set to air on Monday, Marcel Theroux investigates how a quiet boy from a rural village became the leader of this underground movement, with thousands of followers worldwide.
