Guns Don't Kill People...COPS EAT PEOPLE - Cannibal Cop "killed and ATE a Man He Met On 'Exotic Meat' Website

Detlev G, is said to have been 'obsessed' with cannibalism and met his 59-year-old victim from Hanover on a cannibal website. The 55-year-old German police worker has been charged with murdering and chopping up the man who had long fantasized about being killed and eaten.

Police say the victim was tortured, killed and dismembered and body parts were found buried in the garden of Detlev's home in the eastern Ore Mountains, near Dresden.

The handwriting and document analysis specialist was arrested on Wednesday at his workplace, the Criminal Technical Institute in the eastern city of Dresden, authorities said...

He told investigators that he fatally stabbed the victim in the throat on November 4, hours after the two met in person for the first time, then chopped up the body into multiple pieces.

The suspect pointed officers to a number of places around his property, south of Dresden, where he had buried the remains, city police chief Dieter Kroll said at a televised news conference.

The 59-year-old victim, whose name was not released, traveled about 250 miles by bus from Hanover to the meeting.

Police started looking into the case when the victim was reported missing on November 11 by a colleague. Two days later, witnesses told officers that "the missing man had fantasised since his youth about being killed and eaten by another person," Kroll said.

The killing happened about a month after the pair first met in an Internet chatroom, police said.

"The victim had been fantasising about being killed and eaten by someone else since his youth," Dresden police chief Dieter Kroll told a news conference.

Authorities are now checking whether any body parts are missing or were eaten but the suspect has denied doing so. The website they used says it deals with 'exotic meat.'

He said that his victim wanted to be killed and he fulfilled this wish,' Haase said in a telephone interview. Police are only just beginning their investigation, he said.

"I can't give any conclusive information yet about the actual motivation of the suspect for killing his victim. We are investigating in all directions."
