The 41-year-old teacher is accused of having met his victim, a 43-year-old German mechanic, on an online dating site a few hours before the killing, German news agency dpa reported. Neither of their names was released, for privacy reasons.
Prosecutors said there was no indication that the victim agreed to be killed. After the killing, which took place last September, the suspect allegedly chopped up the man's body in his apartment in the Berlin-Pankow neighbourhood and then spread parts of it in different neighbourhoods of the city, dpa reported.
Police were looking for for the missing man for weeks before some bones were found in a forest in northern Berlin and the alleged perpetrator was tracked down with the help of sniffer dogs.In 2006, a German court convicted Armin Meiwes of murder and disturbing the peace for killing and eating a man he had met online. Meiwes is currently serving a life sentence.
In 2015, a German police officer was convicted of murder for killing a man he met in an internet chat forum devoted to cannibalism. Prosecutors said the victim had fantasized about being eaten, but there was no evidence the suspect actually did so.
When you have the bit, 'no indication the victim agreed to be killed' - that speaks to the cannibal doing some serious jail time.
I’ve heard about dogs eating homework but this is something else…
Imagine being a juror in this case.
