A new homosexual cannibal was arrested in Germany: this is the second such case in almost 20 years, reports BBC News.
It’s about a 41-year-old teacher who is called Stefan R. He is suspected of murdering 44-year-old Stefan T. and cannibalism. According to the police, Stefan R. may have been guided by “sexual motives”. The last one disappeared two months ago.
It is noted that the bones of a man were found in a Berlin park on November 8. The police said there was no flesh on one of the bones. This leads investigators to speculate that Stefan T. was the victim of a cannibal. The murder suspect allegedly visited some kind of “Internet chat” that could indicate that he is guilty.
In March 2001, 42-year-old programmer Armin Meiwes killed Bernd Jurgen Brandes at his home in Rottenburg, whom he had met on the Internet. Both Meiwes and his victim were homosexuals. Over the next several months, Meiwes ate parts of Brandes’ body.
Assumptions that the cannibal is mentally ill were denied by psychiatrists, who declared his complete sanity. The cannibal himself did not deny his guilt and only insisted that everything was done with the full consent of the victim. He was initially sentenced in 2004 to nine and a half years for manslaughter, but in 2006, due to new details, Meiwes was sentenced to life in prison.
