German Cannibal Loses His Appetite

Notorious Berlin cannibal killer Armin Meiwes suggested this week that there are around 800 other active human flesh-eaters in Germany, though urged his fellow people-eaters to try and suppress their dark urges.

"Please find other things to sate your appetite," Herr Miewes advised in an interview with German newspaper Der Sontagg.

"Cannibalism will only lead to more problems."

The 41 year old computer expert came to the police's attention in 2001 after advertising on dating websites for 'young, well-built men aged 18 to 30 to slaughter' and was arrested after he'd already met, ate and killed unfortunate web surfer Bernd-Jurgen Brandes. Herr Miewes claims to have first cut off Herr Brandes' penis, flambeed it, then ate it together with his victim, before killing the 43 year old at his request (bbc.co.uk).

"There are many others like me out there- many others," he stressed.

"It's not a good lifestyle." (Daily Mirror)
