Reminds me of a Redditor who claimed to have lost a leg, invited his close friends who consented to BBQ it and eat it. Apparently, his leg tastes like buffalo.
Armin Meiwes is a German cannibal who in 2001 murdered and consumed large parts of Bernd Brandes . What makes this case so unique is that Brandes volunteered to be killed and consumed . The two men met on an online forum and after some correspondence they agreed to meet and for Meiwes to kill and consume Brandes . Before killing Brandes Meiwes cut off and cooked Brandes penis after which the two men ate the appendage together . Meiwes was later detained in December 2002 . [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin\_Meiwes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armin_Meiwes) The Rammstein song Mein Teil ( released 2004 ) was inspired by these events . [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mein\_Teil](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mein_Teil)
We studied this case in law school in Germany. What made it murder(life imprisonment) at the end(not manslaughter, which is in most cases 10-15 years) was the fact that Meiwes recorded the murder and watched it to pleasure himself. Also he cut off parts of the body which is illegal in Germany, too. So he had two motives which elevated the case from manslaughter to murder(Befriedigung des Geschlechtstriebes+Störung der Totenruhe). It seems like a technicality, but implies that Meiwes might spend the rest of his life in prison. Meiwes and his lawyers argued that Brandes wanted to die so it should only be punishable as “Tötung auf Verlangen“, which roughly translates to killing by request”(punishable by only up to 5 years in prison)
