Update on German cannibal case -- disturbing testimony!

Dec 16, 2003 12:06AM PST
I asked cannibal to eat me, says would-be victim


A London-based hotel worker told a German court yesterday how he was chained to a bed by a self-confessed cannibal and had his body marked out for butchery before changing his mind and being released.

...

According to Meiwes, Mr Moller "wanted to be chained to the bed" at which point he stuck pins in his body, marking out his liver, kidney and other organs. They had agreed these were to be cut out for consumption.

Then they went to the cinema. On their return, Meiwes showed the hotel worker a video of a previous would-be victim, Jorg Bose, whom he had strung up in a slaughter parlour at his house.

At that point Mr Moller got cold feet, and, according to Meiwes's lawyer, "decided the fantasy was enough, reality too much".

"He watched it, and said to me, 'You can do this but not that'," Meiwes had told the court. Realising Mr Moller's reluctance, Meiwes backed down from killing him.
