Meiwes cut off Brandes’ penis, cooked it, and ate it with Brandes (eventually it was given to the dog apparently because of a poor recipe choice). After all these final sentences of conscious human experience were given their appropriate full-stops and commas, Brandes ingested sleeping-tablets. Also, Meiwes video-taped both Brandes whilst alive and later, after his death. Armin Meiwes was a computer scientist who was born in the city of Kassel (Germany) and lived a very lonely childhood. Brandes had drawn up a will and testament, where his money and estate would go to his live-in partner. You can view the video of this story below: Who is Armin Meiwes. Meiwes “let them” leave and was not impressed with another, who he found sexually unappealing.Īfter finally meeting Brandes, they started up the ritual that would lead to Brandes’ death and devouring. Four candidates travelled to Meiwes’ house, but eventually were told the seriousness of the description. The other potential candidates thought that “being gobbled up” was a metaphor concerning sexual-actions. Brandes was a year older than his killer, but this didn’t seem to faze Meiwes who held auditions for the position. Meiwes had advertised on online chat-rooms, without euphemism or innuendo, his seeking a “young well-built man, who wanted to be eaten”. In March 2001, Meiwes killed and ate a willing, consenting man, Bernd Brandes. I say this because I think we need clarity in the case of infamous German cannibal, Armin Meiwes. If she does not wish to die, but still has her life taken away – violently or not is beside the point – then she was murdered. How we assess this is also another matter, but for humans we can infer in most instances whether or not someone willingly wants to die. ‘Murder’ falls within the category of ‘killing’, in that the organism in question is killed but did not want to be killed. It is another matter whether it is all or certain forms of organic life we are concerned with. Surprising as it may seem, it is most helpful for discussions on killing if we recognise that the word itself is mostly and simply ‘the taking of organic life’. Meiwes later stabbed and killed Brandes, before cutting him to pieces and freezing parts of his body, some of which he later ate.‘Murder’ differs from ‘killing’ – and must differ for the words to have their moral impact – because killing is a neutral term. The pair met at Meiwes's home in Rotenburg in March 2001, where they had sex before Meiwes cut off Brandes's penis, which the men then cooked and attempted to eat.

This led the court to convict Meiwes of the less serious charge of manslaughter at his trial in 2004. Mr Brandes, a 43-year-old computer engineer, apparently agreed to the idea of being eaten after making contact with his killer on an internet chatroom. Meiwes's lawyer admitted his client had a fetish for human flesh, but claimed he was no danger to society. It said the video proved that Meiwes killed his victim for his own sexual pleasure. At the retrial, the prosecution made a graphic case that Meiwes was guilty of murder and argued he should never be released from prison.Ī psychologist said Meiwes, who had admitted he still had fantasies about devouring the flesh of attractive young people, could reoffend.Ī video which Meiwes filmed during the acts of cannibalism was central to the prosecution's case.
