“This is cannibalism as a sexual perversion, it’s a phenomenon that has been known about for centuries,” said Professor Andreas Marneros, director of the Halle Clinic for Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, “I have examined four such people.” German psychiatrists say the killing is far from unique. Meiwes said he frequently watched American zombie films on television and enjoyed witnessing farm animals being slaughtered. I wanted him to be slim and blond,” he said. He said he started having cannibalistic fantasies at about that time which involved binding an imaginary brother to him forever by killing and eating him. I imagined that somebody could be with me and never leave me again,” he said. He told the court that he was brought up alone in the Rotenburg farmhouse by his dominant mother after his father and his two brothers left home when he was eight. Meiwes tried to offer a psychological explanation yesterday. Meiwes’s defence was that he killed a man who “wanted to be killed”. They found Brandes’s body parts in his freezer. He was unmasked after a student saw his internet advertisements and tipped off police. “There are hundreds and thousands of people out there who want to be eaten,” he said. Meiwes said he had contacted at least 400 people on the internet who showed interest in cannibalism. One felt sick, the other didn’t want to go on, so he let them all down,” Meiwes’s lawyer said. He had them hanging from the ceiling head down and they had no chance of freeing themselves. “There was a teacher, a cook, a hotel employee and a student. However after they said they were merely interested in acting out their fantasies, rather than dying, he let them go. Meiwes told Stern that he wrapped them in cellophane and even marked out their body parts for possible consumption. He lured four men to his home, including one man from London. Meiwes searched for likely victims on the internet for a further 18 months.
“It was almost like Communion – belief and the memory of the person are renewed,” he said. Meiwes said yesterday that he felt “hatred, fury and joy” while killing Brandes. Mr Koehler said Meiwes frequently watched the video he had taken and masturbated. There were about 10 kilograms left over when police found him.” “He defrosted it little by little and ate it. “He believes he ate about 20 kilograms of the flesh,” Mr Ermel said. Harald Ermel, Meiwes’s lawyer, said yesterday that Brandes took nearly 10 hours to bleed to death from wounds inflicted by Meiwes and that he had repeatedly urged him to keep on cutting him. Meiwes told Stern that it tasted “tough and unpalatable”. The two ate it with salt, pepper and garlic. But Meiwes bound the wound, cut the penis in two and fried it. Meiwes said he grabbed a kitchen knife, switched on a video camera and severed the organ. He told the magazine how the two cuddled on the floor of a specially designed slaughter chamber in Meiwes’ attic before Brandes urged his internet acquaintance to “cut the thing off”. Meiwes earlier this year told Stern magazine that Brandes had drugged himself with sleeping pills and two bottles of a cold remedy before the cannibalistic ritual. Meiwes’ lawyer said Brandes “could not wait to be eaten”. The state prosecutor, Marcus Koehler, said Brandes “suffered from severe psychological problems and felt a desire to destroy himself”. Yesterday the court heard how the former computer expert, who lived alone in a 44-room timbered farmhouse near the town of Rotenburg had advertised on the internet for a suitable victim in early 1999 under the pseudonym “Franky the master butcher.”Įighteen months later he aroused the interest of Brandes, an unmarried Berlin computer engineer who worked for the electronics giant Siemens. The trial, believed to be the first to involve a self-confessed cannibal and an apparently willing victim, has shocked public opinion, attracted global attention and left the German courts with a seemingly intractable legal problem. Then when I am unconscious, stab me to death.” “He said to me, if I’m tired, cut the thing off. “I kissed him again, I prayed – also for forgiveness – and then I stabbed him,” Meiwes said, adding Brandes had told him to cut off his penis. Prior to killing, Meiwes had cut off his victim’s penis which both men consumed. During yesterday’s hearing he confessed to killing Brandes, 41, at his home in March 2001 and eating parts of his victim’s body, which he kept in his deep freeze. Meiwes, appearing in court for the first time since his arrest in December 2002, is accused of using the internet to seek out “young men for real slaughter and consumption” and of murdering his victim, Bernd Jurgen Brandes, for “sexual satisfaction”.
