(I know, it sounds like i’m plagiarizing “ Hannibal” but I’m not.) Like Meiwes, his victim “Bernd-Juergen Brandes” was a cannibalism fetishist, with a Hansel and Gretel obsession, who prepared a very detailed will, and sold most of his property before going to Meiwes’s house and asked to be eaten. The bizarre part is that the victim was a willing participant in the whole experience - and even choose to eat some of his own flesh before dying. Now brace yourself - none of that is the bizarre part. Armin recieved this sentance for castrating his victim, eating his flesh while the victim bleed to death, and then butchering and freezing his body to eat over the course of several months - all of which he recorded on video for later sexual gratification. (I can NOT believe we haven’t mentioned this story on before)Īrmin Meiwes was found guilty of manslaughter in a German court this week, and sentenced to 8.5 years in prison.
