German cannibal finds willing victim11/10/2022 ![]() Having his family background, can we say that he was just a victim of a depressed childhood? Having a sad and lonely life could have been the reason why he turned into a cannibal. The people who do this are considered mentally ill although the devouring of human flesh isn't formally listed as a disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (a book used by Psychiatrists in diagnosing a person with a psychological disorder). In a civilized world they do it for pleasure (sometimes sexual), urges, necessity, and other psychological reasons. Even in certain tribes like in Papua New Guinea, the practice still exists. In the internet site that he used in finding willing victims, there are several cannibals in there. As what Meiwes mentioned, there are over 800 cannibals in Germany alone. Professor Stolpmann described Meiwes as "extremely smug and self-assured" and as having a "schizoid personality" but said he detected no indication of mental illness.Ĭannibals still exist in our society today. This made him want to eat his friends as a child to make them part of him and that he wouldn't be lonely anymore. His mother would often scold him in public making him a silent-type of boy. ![]() For this, he created an imaginary friend named "Franky" whom he vented out his cannibalistic thoughts. Having a strict authoritarian mother, Meiwes was a misunderstood and lonely child. That's what made him choose a homosexual victim Armando Brandes. Being so attached with his mother and lacking a father figure seemed to make him feminine. In psychological point of view, Erik Erikson's theory on gender identity versus identity confusion, having a female as his only authority might have changed his sexual preference. Meiwes was left by his father at such young age, leaving the mother as the dominant parent. What could have caused Meiwes' way of cannibalizing? Do cannibals still exist in this modern world? Is Meiwes to be blamed for all his actions? His first penalty was eight and a half years of imprisonment until it was re-trialled and was convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. Meiwes killed his victim, identified as Bernd Jurgen Armando Brandes, and ate a large amount of the flesh for a year. ARMIN Meiwes is a German who was internationally infamous due to killing and eating a voluntary victim he had found via internet. ![]()
