He described the taste of human flesh as like pork, but stronger. He was initially given 8.5 years, but was retried and sentenced to life. Germany didn’t have a law against eating human flesh, so he was tried for murder for the purposes of sexual pleasure and disturbing the peace of the dead.
#Armin meiwes video leaked trial#
Another reader notified the police.ĭuring the trial he defended himself saying that it was a voluntary killing, as seen on the video. He was caught when he posted another ad on the forum looking for his next victim and describing in detail when he did to his last. Over the next 10 months he ate 44lbs (20kg) of the body. Leaked screenshots from the killing video He even tried to grind the bones to use as flour. He then hung the body on a meat hook and chopped pieces off, placing the flesh into plastic bags that he then labelled and stored in his freezer under some pizza boxes. Brandes was unconscious, so he stabbed him in the throat, ending his life. Miewes read a Star Trek book for the next 3 hours, checking on Brandes occasionally. So Meiwes chopped it to pieces and fed it to his dog.īrandes was placed in a bath and left to bleed out. Meiwes started to cook it using salt, pepper, wine and garlic and then decided to use some of Brandes’ own fat – but by then it had burned. Both of them tried to eat it raw but it was Brandes who said it was too ”chewy”. Brandes wanted Meiwes to bit off his penis but Meiwes was unable to with just his teeth, so he used a knife. They went back to the house and into a purpose made soundproof killing room. The house of horrors where Meiwes killed and ate his victim. But before getting onboard he said that if he had sleeping pills and schnapps he thought that would do the trick. Brandes thought he couldn’t go through with it and asked to be taken to the train station. The two had sex, and then talked about computers while drinking some coffee. The day before Brandes had wrote “I’ll bring myself as breakfast.” That man was 43 year old Bernd Jurgen Armando Brandes who had placed his own ad looking to be eaten, and they met at Meiwes’ house on March 9th, 2001. There he left a post saying he was looking "looking for a well-built 18- to 30-year-old to be slaughtered and then consumed."īrandesHe got many answers, but only found one to be serious after actually facing the knife. This interest led him to the forums of an internet site called the Cannibal Café in 2001. He also became fascinated with internet pornography that showed pain and torture as its theme. He ended up recreating his mother as a mannequin in a room in that house which could only be described as a shrine. When his mother died in 1999, he was left alone and with a large country house in Germany. So he created an imaginary one named Franky with whom he would tell his secrets too, one of which was that he wished he could eat his friends before they left him so they would stay with him forever. His mother was one of those domineering types who never let him go anywhere without her, and would publicly criticized admonish him.Īs an only child with a mother like that (two half-brothers left when he was 6), he ended up without many friends. Armin Meiwes’ father abandoned his family when Armin was eight. My first story starts with a character not unlike the one from Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho. Often this is linked with sexual ecstasy, they are known to orgasm just by cutting into the flesh of their victims - it excites them immensely. Why do many cannibals do it? Well, many are loners - by eating their victims they believe they carry that person with them forever. Cannibals are charged with a related crime, usually murder - at the very least desecration of a corpse. One strange thing is there is no law against cannibalism in the United States, the United Kingdom, and many other countries. I must caution that this post includes actual screenshots from the butchering of a human corpse.
