Bernd Jurgen Brandes answered the advertisement. Meiwes's post stated that he was "looking for a well-built 18 to 30-year-old to be slaughtered and then consumed". "Looking for a willing victim, Meiwes posted an advertisement at a website, The Cannibal Cafe, whose disclaimer mentions the distinction between reality and fantasy. Some of you have probably heard of him, and the events that transpired in March of 2001, but for those who are unaware, here is a brief description, taken from a Wikipedia article and spoiler'd for size. Prosecutors said the victim had fantasized about being eaten, but there was no evidence the suspect actually did so.Today, my fellow Escapists, I present to you the case of the German Armin Meiwes. Meiwes is currently serving a life sentence.Ī German police officer was convicted of murder in 2015 for killing a man he met in an internet chat forum devoted to cannibalism. In 2006, a German court convicted Armin Meiwes of murder and disturbing the peace for killing and eating a man he had met online. The trial at a Berlin state court, which is expected to last until mid-October, is not the first of its kind in Germany. Police spent weeks looking for the missing mechanic before some bones were found in a forest in northern Berlin and a suspect was tracked down with the help of sniffer dogs. The suspect allegedly chopped up the man's body in his Berlin apartment and then spread parts of it in different neighborhoods of the city, dpa reported.
Neither of the men's names was released, for privacy reasons. They said there was no indication the victim agreed to be killed. Prosecutors say the man on trial met his victim, a 43-year-old German mechanic, on an online dating site a few hours before the September slaying, German news agency dpa reported. BERLIN (AP) - A 41-year-old teacher who is accused of having killed another man and eaten pieces of the victim's body went on trial Tuesday in Germany's capital.
