The desire grew stronger after the death of his mother in 1999, prosecutor Marcus Köhler said. Yesterday German prosecutors described how Meiwes had fantasised about killing and devouring someone, including his classmates, from the age of eight. ![]() 'I always had the fantasy and in the end I fulfilled it,' Meiwes told the court on the first day of his trial for murder in the nearby city of Kassel. It was, he said, something he had wanted to do for a long time. In one of the most extraordinary trials in German criminal history, the self-confessed cannibal admitted that he had met a 43-year-old Berlin engineer, Bernd Brandes, after advertising on the internet, and had chopped him up and eaten him. Yesterday, however, Meiwes appeared in court charged with killing - and then frying and eating - another man. ![]() Other residents in the small German town of Rotenburg also believed there was nothing odd about the 42-year-old computer expert, whose light burned late into the night inside his creaking mansion. He mowed their lawn, repaired their car and even invited them round for dinner. To the family next door, Armin Meiwes seemed the perfect neighbour.
