Trial of the German Cannibal begins

[SplitDik (imported)]

Very interesting news. The article linked below shows a picture of the man, who seems quite respectable. For those of you who have not followed this news, this man met another over the internet who wanted to be killed then eaten. They cut off the man's penis and ate it together, then this man killed the other, kept his body in the freezer and ate more of it over time.

The big question is how would consenual cannibalism be treated in a court. Of course it is illegal to kill anyone even if they want to die, so will likely be defended as more of a euthenasia rather than a murder.
