TY - JOUR PY - 2008// TI - Cannibalistically intended homicide following a media report JO - Archiv für Kriminologie A1 - Wirth, Ingo A1 - Schmeling, Andreas A1 - Hartwig, Sven SP - 52 EP - 63 VL - 222 IS - 1-2 N2 - Inspired by media reports on the cannibalistically motivated homicide in Rotenburg (German state of Hesse), a man in Berlin with homosexual tendencies decided to realize his longstanding fantasies of slaughtering someone. He killed another homosexual man and dismembered his victim, while the motive changed from an offensive and necrophile to a defensive dismemberment of the body. The parallels between the two homicides are presented and discussed.
