Nearly one year after the Miewes sex cannibal case, Germany offers a new story of a lover killing the other for meal purposes. It looks like the body was prepared, but not consumed. "Intent to cannibalize, your honor?"
Investigators say they want to determine if this is a copycat of last year's sensational case, or if there is a cult of gay cannibals in the country.It is not know if the victim willingly went to his death in this case...
And, of course, the internet plays a role:
The man allegedly said he met his victim via a gay internet chat site.
Let no one say Britain has been left out:
Writing from his prison cell on the Costa Blanca, Paul Durant, 44, who was arrested in February over the killing of Karen Durrell, 41, confessed to her murder and admitted cannibalism, the London Daily Mirror newspaper reported."After I killed her, I cut her body into small parts, eating what part of her I found eatable," Durant wrote, according to the newspaper. "I finally disposed of what was left in small rubbish bags around Calpe."
He added: "Before I killed Karen I told her I had come to Spain where I was going to kill and eat pedophiles. My mental state was breaking down at this stage. I believed God had delivered her to me."
No word yet about the role of the internet in this case.
"Cult of gay cannibals"?!
