Armin Meiwes - a resident of the city of Rottenburg, homosexual, in early 2001, has posted an ad on the Internet that he was ready to eat anyone who wants to, that would give a positive response to his letter.
Armin was born in 1961. According to his testimony, he is 8 years old wanted to eat someone, and never thought his desire something that is not normal. Curiously, it was at this time his parents divorced. The boy stayed with his mother, and when she died, continued to live in a huge 30 room mansion. Also, it does not bezynteresen the fact that next door to the mansion Meiwes lived some Ulla von Bernus, which called itself Satanist and had a very close friend of his mother Armin Meiwes.
So, in the same 2001, he responded to his announcement of a resident of Berlin, Juergen Brandes, who worked as a programmer in the company of Siemens AG. Later, his colleagues argued that Jurgen has always been prone to masochism. In his reply, he wrote that being eaten he really needs, and he wants it more than anything.
Within two weeks, the cannibal and the victim communicated with each other. As it turned out, Jurgen was also homosexual. A March 10, 2001 Brandes traveled from Berlin to Meiwes house in Rotenburg. Before coming to the stranger, Bernd-Juergen sold their personal belongings, and took leave from work.
The very act of cannibalism was accurately recorded on film lovers. And from the beginning, "meal" and until the death of Brandes took 10 hours. "It was not a simple murder; it was a mercy killing - just in case once again reminded the court before the show itself Meiwes - I do not want to kill someone and hurt. "
After Meiwes killed his lover, he kissed his forehead and began butchering the body.
Later, he told the court that in a few months time to eat more than 20 kilograms of his friend, and his skull kept "in memory". At the same time, he signed in split each part of the body, making notes, "fillet", "steak", "tenderloin".
Meiwes taken into custody in 2002, when one of the students, members of gay chat, contacted police after seeing a new ad ogre. In the second appeal Armin responded to about 400 people. Investigators searched his home and found the video, as well as a room intended for butchering, with hooks on the ceiling and a huge bathroom.
January 30, 2004 Meiwes was convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to 8 and 5 years' imprisonment. This led to a public debate, because everyone knew that the victim was involved in the act of eating voluntarily. It was based on this and protect the killers.
Meiwes, in turn, did not deny his guilt, but always said that it is made only at the request of his partner. He also gave a statement that he wanted to use this experience in his book, to deter those who want to follow in his footsteps.
However, in 2005 a German court reconsidered the case Rottenburgskogo cannibal, and in 2006, taking into account his mental problems and alcohol, was sentenced to life imprisonment. My psychiatrist said that Armin Meiwes was still obsessed with the desire to eat the flesh of young people.
Currently, Armin is serving his life sentence. In prison, he became a vegetarian, and even headed a local branch of the party "green".
