A German was sentenced to life imprisonment on Friday January 7 by a Berlin court for having killed, dismembered and partly eaten a 43-year-old man he met on the internet.

On September 6, 2020, the victim agreed to a sexual encounter with the accused via a dating platform. The man then allegedly took a taxi to the suspect’s apartment in Berlin-Pankow, in the north of the German capital. Stefan R. would then have administered a glass of GHB, the “rape drug“, which would have made him lose consciousness. The accused then cut his victim’s throat and left her to bleed, “ because it gave him sexual stimulation “, said prosecutor Martin Glage in his submissions. . Once dead, he would have devoured part of his limbs.

The victim “wanted to get out alive”

The investigation into his disappearance had remained at a standstill until the discovery in November 2020 by walkers of human bones in a park in northern Berlin . The investigation had established that it was the remains of a missing man. It was by analyzing the victim’s phone that the investigators had managed to identify a taxi driver who had taken him to the accused’s home. The police then found traces of blood, other parts of the body and several tools, including a bone saw.

There was “a lot of blood from the victim”, according to Martin Glage. There are no indications of a consensual homicide: the victim “ wanted to get out alive ”, he continued. Investigators then revealed that the accused had already done “concrete and detailed” research on various forums related to cannibalism.

The case recalls the case of Detlev Günzel, a former police commissioner, found guilty of having killed and skinned, obviously at his request, a man met on a website of fetishists of cannibalism. There was no evidence that he ate his victim. Another case that froze Germany in the early 2000s was that of Armin Meiwes, nicknamed “the cannibal of Rotenburg“, sentenced to life imprisonment in 2006 for a homicide followed anthropophagy, all filmed.
