Cannibal Busted - how do you want your 'thigh steak' cooked?
The chilling story of how a cannibal tracked down a willing victim and ate him emerged yesterday.
Armin Miewes had nurtured a dream of killing and eating a human since he was 12. He said he once imagined putting a schoolfriend on to a kebab spit 'and slowly roasting him'.
It took 29 years and 430 e-mail contacts to make his dream come true
He searched for willing victims in chatrooms such as Gourmet, Cannibal Cafi and Eaten Up, advertising for 'young, well-built men aged 18 to 30 to slaughter'.
The 41-year-old computer expert eventually made contact with Bernd Brandes, 43. The Berliner, who was also a computer technician, had sold his car, written a will and taken the day off work to sort out what he called 'a personal matter'.
He went to Miewes' home in Rotenburg, central Germany, where the pair agreed to cut off Brandes' penis.
Miewes cooked it with garlic, salt and pepper in a frying pan before both men ate it. 'It shrivelled up in the pan a bit and wasn't very tasty,' he said.
Then he videotaped himself stabbing Brandes in the chest with an 12in knife. 'It was an indescribable feeling for me,' he told police in a confession.
'Hate, love, happiness, power. My life's dream had come true.'
Later, he filleted 65lb of flesh from the body, which he labelled 'rump, steak, fillet, ham and bacon'. He stored the parts in his freezer for seven months, occasionally removing fillets to barbecue in his garden.
His first meal was a 'thigh steak' cooked in garlic and Muscat wine, served with deep-fried potato balls, Brussels sprouts and washed down with South African cabernet.
'The flesh tasted so much like pork I can't tell you,' Miewes told police.
Officers who searched his library found human cookery books among a collection of Walt Disney videos. They included recipes for 'penis in red wine' and 'breaded young man's liver'.
Miewes said he also tried to get a Londoner on his menu. The unnamed man went to the cannibal's house and was wrapped naked in cellophane.
His body parts were marked out for butchering before he 'changed his mind and said he wanted to go home'.
Miewes, who was arrested after a tipoff by another contact who got cold feet, will be tried for murder as cannibalism is not a crime in Germany.
