Life for a German teacher who eats cannibals
A German court has sentenced a teacher to life imprisonment for killing a man he met on an online dating site, and lured him to kill him and eat his body parts.
The judge in Berlin said Staffan R.
The 42-year-old killed the electrical engineer "to satisfy his cravings for cannibalism".
The teacher was arrested when some of the victim's bones were found in a park north of Berlin.
The mother of the victim, aged 43, had reported his disappearance weeks before his body was found.
Investigations revealed, according to the BBC, that the teacher had previously visited chat rooms on the Internet dealing with cannibalism.
Investigators said that his victim died hours after meeting him, and they found a bone-cutting saw and a butcher's knife in his apartment.
At the trial, Staffan said he found the man dead in his apartment, and decided to dispose of his body out of fear.
He used a rented car to disperse the outskirts of the body at a number of locations north of the neighborhood.
This case reminds of another man famous in Germany for eating human flesh, Armin Meiwes, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in 2006.
