Germany: 'Cannibal Cop' Buried Victim In Garden

A German policeman has been arrested after the butchered body of a man he met on a fetish website for cannibalism was found buried in his garden.

The 55-year-old confessed to slashing the throat of his willing victim and then cutting his body into small pieces and burying them, police said.

But there was no evidence that the suspect, identified by media as police officer Detlev G of the eastern state of Saxony, had eaten any of the body parts of his victim, prosecutors said.

Maik Mainda laid out the details of the investigation at a news conference

The victim, a 59-year-old man from Hanover, Lower Saxony, had "since his youth fantasised about being murdered and eaten," Dresden police chief Dieter Kroll told a news conference.

When the Hanover business consultant went missing, police began a search and weeks later tracked him down using his electronic communications with the suspected killer, whom he met for the first time on November 4.

Dresden head of criminal investigations Maik Mainda told the press conference the pair had extensive email, SMS and telephone contact since October to arrange their fatal date.

The two men met at Dresden railway station before driving back to the suspect's house in the town of Hartmannsdorf-Reichenau.

"The agreement was that the killing should take place immediately," Mainda said.

The suspect "then used a knife to cause a life-threatening wound on the throat of the victim, which led to his death," he said.

He added: "The suspect has told us that he then cut the victim into separate pieces, including many very small pieces, and that he also cut through bones. The suspect then buried the body parts on the sloping lawn of his property."

Police wait outside the scene where the victim was found buried

The suspect was cooperating and had pointed investigators to the sites where he buried the remains, police said.

The investigation has echoes of the case of Armin Meiwes, dubbed the "Cannibal of Rothenburg".

In 2001, German cannibal Meiwes made international headlines for admitting to killing, mutilating and eating the flesh of a lover whom he had met on the Internet via an advertisement looking for a "slaughter victim".

Armin Meiwes admitted killing and eating a lover in 2001

Meiwes was originally convicted of manslaughter and sentenced to eight and a half years in prison in 2004, but another court found him guilty of murder in a retrial and jailed him for life.
