Dismembered body parts belonging to Kateryna Obukhivska, 30, and Hanna Khrystyuk, 10, were found scattered in woodland a month after the brutal slaying.
According to cops, evil Lubenko met his victim via a dating website in 2015 and played the perfect role of doting step-dad and dedicated boyfriend.
After a few months of dating, Lubenko whisked Kateryna away on a romantic trip to Kyiv, Ukraine’s capital.
But once on the road he lured her into woodland and shot her in the head twice with a revolver.
He then headed straight to the ten-year-old’s dad’s house, where she had been staying.
Spinning a story about a seaside trip to Hannah’s father, Lubenko took a “happy and smiling” Hannah off in his car.
The girl’s devastated dad said: “This man was my ex-wife’s boyfriend and I suspected nothing.
“I allowed him to take my daughter on the trip”.
He drove to the neighbouring Khmelnytskyi region where he met with his 24-year-old female accomplice, Yulia Boiko, 24.
The evil pair then strangled the youngster, cut out her liver and Lubenko ate it cops say.
The 40-year-old was charged with double murder and cannibalism.
Boiko, who is said to be his lover, was charged with murder of a minor.
The pair both now deny the charge.
Prosecutor Maksim Podvorny said: “We have enough evidence to demand life sentences for the pair”.
