Slice The Thing Off Now

By: robnoxious Published: 12/18/2003

"Slice the thing off now."

After placing his penis on a kitchen table, computer expert Bernd-Jergen Brandes issued that unthinkable command to German cannibal Armin Meiwes.

A home video made by Meiwes, 42, detailed the sickening events that followed on March 10, 2001.

The cannibal chopped at the organ, but failed to sever it.

Writhing in pain, Brandes, 43, demanded that Meiwes get a sharper knife.

He did - and completed the unspeakable act.

Meiwes bandaged the wound with towels and Brandes sat upright in a chair, his eyes glazed over.

Meiwes began cooking the severed penis - sautéing it with garlic, salt and pepper.

Brandes had his rare.

"We had agreed to eat it half and half, but he was getting faint and couldn't wait for his half to be cooked through," the cannibal said. "So he tried to eat it more or less raw and of course, it was too tough. He was furious."

Meiwes then led Brandes upstairs to a first-floor bathroom in his half-timbered home near Kassel in central Germany, leaving him to "bleed out" in a bath.

As Brandes' final hours ticked down, the cannibal watched one of the many Disney movies he owns.

Brandes managed to recover some strength.

"He got out and said, 'If I survive until the morning, let's have my testicles for breakfast,' " Meiwes said.

The computer expert did not survive until morning.

Ten hours after Brandes' manhood was cut off, Meiwes laid him out on a bench in "the butchery," a cold and sinister room - painted red and black.

Then he repeatedly plunged a knife into Brandes' throat.

The final scene shows Meiwes cradling his victim's head and saying, "Forgive me."

The video, 4 1/2 hours long, was edited down to 90 minutes before being shown at Meiwes murder trial in Kassel, which is expected to continue until at least mid-January.

Meiwes, a computer technician and former soldier, admits killing Brandes, a computer software expert from Berlin.

But he insists that Brandes, who answered his Internet ad for a victim, wanted to be eaten and die.

Prosecutors claim the killing was sexually motivated and Meiwes exploited a mental disorder that left Brandes with a death wish.

On the witness stand, Meiwes said he decapitated and dismembered Brandes' body and stored the parts in a freezer.

Then - during a long summer of barbecues - he ate 66 pounds of Brandes.

Saying he was "internalizing" a loving friend, he described it as almost a religious event.

"On the night of the killing, I had the hope that part of his body would become part of mine," he said. "It was like Holy Communion."

Finally, his supply of meat began to run out and he started searching the Internet for another victim.

"I hope I will soon find another victim. The flesh is almost all gone," he said in an e-mail to a friend.

Explaining the e-mail in court, he said, "It was still my wish to slaughter a human - in other words, to dissect a body."

Meiwes said he intended to share Brandes' remains with his next victim before killing him.

But he never got that far. He was arrested a year ago.

Meiwes said Brandes "disappointed me in many ways."

He said the computer expert lied about his age, claiming to be 36, and did not want to get to know the cannibal better before his death.

Meiwes insisted Brandes was a willing participant in his killing.

"I saw the killing as helping him, helping him to die, helping him to kill himself," he said. "He knew he could have stopped at any time, but he didn't. He wanted to die and to be eaten. He told me he had the desire to be slaughtered and eaten since he was a child. He was very intelligent and I didn't see any sign he was disturbed."

Still, Meiwes said, the slaying was "the most terrible moment in my life, far worse than I had imagined in my fantasies." He wished he had seen a psychologist about his cannibal fantasies, he said, because "things wouldn't have gone so far."

Meiwes said he met Brandes on the Internet after placing an ad that read, "If you are 18 to 25, you are my boy. Come to me, I'll eat your delicious flesh."

He said he received 400 replies and chose Brandes after a long e-mail relationship. Recipes found in his home included "penis in red wine" and "breaded young man's liver."

Meiwes faces life in jail if convicted.

I wish I had not viewed this thread I did not even get to the end of before I began to wonder whether such material even belongs here. I apologize for judging. Please forgive me.

Disgusting. It's scary how some people can be reduced to little more than animals. Even the whole self-nullification and eating of body parts, though popular amongst certain fetish scenes, has always seemed to be to be filthy and depraved. What a sick world we live in.

Ummm ... I figured that the title would be enough to warn people that it would be graphic. Sorry if the story disturbed some of you.

On the other hand, the Story Archive is filled with this sort of stuff ... so must appeal or be of interest to some of us.

On a philosophical note: How does the idea of consenuality work in a case like the German Cannibal? Both men were otherwise apparently sane and intelligent. Neither was intoxicated. They met freely.

Similarly, where I live a woman was just acquitted on two assisted suicides.

What right does someone have to mutilate, endanger, or even kill oneself?

Reminds me or the James A. Michener novel "CENTENNIAL"

As you know (or maybe not) Alferd Packer led a hunting party of 20 into the Western Rockies in Colorado late in 1873. They were stranded by a Blizzard and Alferd Packer got stranded with 5 of the members of the party. When the spring thaw came Alferd Packer came out of the mountains looking well-nourished but quite alone. Later, the skulls of his 5 companions were found, each bearing the signs of having been smacked with the sharp edge of an axe.

The judge, upon sentencing Packer, is rumored to have said...

"Alferd Packer, you voracious, man-eating son-of-a-bitch! They was only seven Democrats in Hinsdale County, and you ate 5 of them!!!!"

Of course, Alferd Packer's case was thrown out and his conviction and sentencing were vacated. It seems that he ate his victims when Colorado was just a territory but he was tried under the laws of the STATE of Colorado.

Now, I imagine that O.J. may have eaten Nicole in California...I know that I would have...but I would not have killed her in the process... Of course, she would have felt like she was in Heaven...regardless...

The moral of the story is that you should be very careful to whom you say "BITE ME" or "EAT ME". The life that you save could be your own!

The story of the German cannibalism was just a bit too graphic.

Assisted suicide - which the German incident was not - is a bit different, especially if the 'victims' are quite elderly and/or terminally ill. Euthanasia legislation, such as that available to doctors in OR state or in The Netherlands or Switzerland, is very welcome in these cases. Many people legitimately do not want to live to the point of natural death when they are terminally ill. Often they're in considerable pain.

The story was graphic, but didnt really bother me.... hope that doesnt mean im sick! even though it wasnt too pleasant, what do you expect when you read something titled "Some details regarding the German cannibal" im sure everyone has seen worse things on T.V or in movies than that brief explanation of how some guy got himself eaten....... sausage anyone?
